Two action-packed movies are set to premiere on Netflix in the US in December 2025, featuring recognizable stars and familiar faces from popular TV shows. The first movie, A Line of Fire, is a Sony Pictures release that falls under the Home Entertainment division. The film, directed by Matt Shapira, follows the classic ‘retired agent pulled back in’ trope, but packs a punch with a strong supporting cast.
A Line of Fire is set to drop on Netflix on December 17th, 2025, just over three months after its initial VOD and Digital release in September 2025. The movie stars White (from the movie God’s Not Dead) and Oscar-winner Cuba Gooding Jr.. The film’s plot revolves around the classic ‘retired agent pulled back in’ trope, but with a twist. When his former partner’s niece is kidnapped, Cash is forced out of retirement and into a deadly underworld of corruption, where he must rely on his old skills to survive.
The movie also features a talented cast, including Jason Patric (from the cult classic The Lost Boys), Katrina Bowden (from the hit TV show 30 Rock), and Scott Baio (from the iconic TV show Happy Days). Despite receiving fairly poor reviews, A Line of Fire has managed to sit at 4.0 on IMDb at the time of writing. The movie’s success will largely depend on how well the cast performs in their respective roles.
Next up, the gritty cartel thriller Border Hunters will drop on Netflix on December 18th, reuniting subscribers with some very familiar faces from Breaking Bad and On My Block. The film, directed by Ruben Islas, is a revenge-driven thriller set against the backdrop of the cross-border drug war. The plot revolves around an American man with a diverse law enforcement and military background who goes south of the border to exact revenge for his police officer brother’s death at the hands of a drug dealer who flees to the protection of a cartel-connected uncle in Mexico.
The film features a talented cast, including Dean Norris (from Breaking Bad and Under the Dome), who plays the vengeance-seeking Abraham, alongside Julio Macias (from On My Block and Selena: The Series), who takes on the role of Andro. The supporting ensemble also features Pía Sanz as Angelica, Eligio Meléndez (from Narcos: Mexico) as Ezekiel, Luis Velázquez as Gato, and Dan Donohue (from For All Mankind) as Ambassador Clifton. With plans clearly aimed at appealing to those who love the tactical combat of Sicario or Triple Frontier, Border Hunters looks like an exciting addition to Netflix’s December 2025 lineup.
The release of these two action movies on Netflix in December 2025 has generated significant buzz among fans of action-packed thrillers. With a talented cast and a gripping plot, A Line of Fire and Border Hunters are sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
