Once you sign up for Tubi, what should you watch? This February, our suggestion is to explore the action genre. We picked three great action movies to watch this month. Our selections include a shark thriller, an underrated sports drama, and an action comedy with two A-list stars.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Warner Bros.

Not every shark movie needs to be compared to Jaws. No shark thriller will ever surpass Steven Spielberg’s iconic blockbuster. However, there are a few shark movies with plenty of thrills for fans. Renny Harlin’s Deep Blue Sea is an exciting B-movie with action, adventure, and killer sharks.

In a secluded underwater facility, Dr. Susan McAlester (Saffron Burrows) is conducting experiments on mako sharks in hopes of finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Looking for more funding, McAlester invites corporate executive Russell Franklin (Samuel L. Jackson) to investigate the experiments. However, the genetically modified sharks become hostile during a routine test and attack the scientists. With the facility falling apart, McAlester and her team must stop the sharks from escaping to the ocean and creating a new species.

Warrior (2011)

A film centered around cage fighting has no business being this heartfelt. Yet, Warrior is an emotional family drama disguised as a sports movie. Tommy Conlon (Tom Hardy) is an ex-Marine who returns home to Pittsburgh to visit his estranged father, Paddy (Nick Nolte, who was nominated for an Oscar for his terrific performance), a recovering alcoholic. Tommy convinces Paddy to train him for Sparta, an MMA tournament where the winner receives $5 million.

Unbeknownst to Tommy, his older brother, Brendan (Joel Edgerton), earns a tournament spot, too. Brendan is a high school physics teacher who us struggling to provide for his family and needs the money to save his house. Despite being underdogs, Tommy and Brendan shock the world with their skills, and the two set off on a collision course. Yet, the real battle will be repairing their relationship outside of the octagon.

They’ve been married for a few years and live in the suburbs. John works in construction, while Jane works in tech. Their marriage is struggling, but they’re trying to work out their problems with counseling. But both John and Jane share a dark secret: they are assassins.

However, John and Jane work for rival agencies. After they are assigned to kill the same man, John and Jane run into each other on the job and come clean about their secrets. When their respective agencies hire them to kill each other, John and Jane’s marriage is put to the ultimate test. Will a near-death experience bring the couple closer together or tear them further apart?

5 great free action movies you should stream right now
Nick Cage signals fighter jets in The Rock.

Who doesn't love free movies? Besides the major streamers, of course. There just aren't any free options anymore on Netflix and Hulu. However, a number of free action movies can be found on sites like YouTube and Tubi. YouTube, in particular, doesn't advertise its free movies every month, so you'll have to know where to look to find them.
Surprisingly, two of our picks from last month's free action movies are still available to watch in March, So we've added three more free action movies for your viewing enjoyment. And all three of our picks are legitimately great action movies in their own right.
If you're curious about what's available in action on other streaming services, we also have guides for the best action movies on Netflix, the best action movies on Hulu, as well as the best action movies on Amazon Prime Video. For more options, check out guides for the best new movies to stream and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video.
The Rock (1996)

The Rock may not be the greatest action movie of the 1990s, but it's definitely the most '90s action movie. It's a Michael Bay film — need I say more? Brigadier General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) has gone rogue with some of his most loyal men by stealing deadly gas, obtaining missiles, and seizing control of Alcatraz with hostages to force the federal government to give them what they want.
Two men are specifically selected to go on a mission to take out the missiles and the gas: Dr. Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) and James Bond-adjacent former secret agent John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery), who has languished in a US prison for decades. Because Mason is the only living man who ever escaped from Alcatraz, he can get Goodspeed and the soldiers inside. But can Mason trust the FBI to follow through on his pardon? On the flip side, the FBI trust Mason not to run off and leave them high and dry before the missiles are launched?
