Tom Cruise's most underrated action movie is now on Netflix

When you think of Tom Cruise movies, the first action movies that come to mind are probably the Mission: Impossible movies or the Top Gun movies. Those are two of the most successful action franchises featuring Cruise, so that makes sense.

Despite Cruise being well known in the action space for those movies, along with the death-defying stunts performed while making those movies, there's another of Cruise's action movies that often gets forgotten.

That movie is Edge of Tomorrow, which premiered in 2014, and it's back on Netflix celebrating the film's 10-year anniversary! If you're looking for what to watch on Netflix, you can't go wrong with Edge of Tomorrow.

Netflix adds Edge of Tomorrow on Sept. 7

Netflix announced in August that Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow would return to Netflix on Sept. 7. We just checked the movie is available to stream! It's not on the Netflix Top 10 for movies yet, but we expect it'll be there by the end of the weekend.

Edge of Tomorrow, which boasts a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is such a good movie! The film also stars Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, and Brendan Gleason.

In the film, Cruise stars as Major William Cage, who is a critical member of the resistance to defeat a race of Aliens who have taken over Europe. Unfortunately, Cage gets stuck in a time loop. Every time he is killed in the offensive, he wakes up the morning of the attack. To break the loop, Cage must find a way to save humanity. He enlists the help of Sergeant Rita Vrataski, played by Blunt, to accomplish the task.

Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth, and John-Henry Butterworth wrote the screenplay for the movie. Doug Liman directed the film. Cruise and Liman also worked together on American Made, which was super popular on Netflix earlier this year.

More notably, Cruise reunited with McQuarrie for Edge of Tomorrow after working on Valkyrie and Jack Reacher. Following Edge of Tomorrow, Cruise and McQuarrie worked together on three Mission: Impossible movies, including Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, and Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning. They'll also be working on another Mission: Impossible movie together, as well.

Doug Liman says Edge of Tomorrow 2 is still possible

According to a report from Variety in July, director Doug Liman said that Edge of Tomorrow 2 is not officially dead. It was officially announced in 2019, but it's been pretty quiet since then.

This summer, Liman revealed to Empire Magazine that he and Cruise still talk about Edge of Tomorrow 2, but there's still nothing set in stone.

Fans have been asking for the sequel since the first film premiered. It will be very interesting to see if it happens. Cruise and Blunt are two of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood. It's likely that they are booked for quite a while with existing projects, but hopefully, something could be worked out.

For now, you can watch Edge of Tomorrow, one of Cruise's best and most underrated movies, on Netflix! We'll share more updates about the potential sequel as we find out.
