If there’s a unifying theme among Netflix‘s movies in February, it’s star power.
The vast majority of Netflix’s borrowed flicks from other studios have an abundance of A-list talent in films that didn’t get the attention they deserved when they were in theaters.
That’s why Watch With Us is throwing the spotlight on four underrated Netflix movies you need to watch in February.
Our picks include a heist flick, two action comedies and a crime thriller from the master of the modern Western.

‘Focus’ (2015)
Margot Robbie was still in the early years of her movie stardom when she paired with Will Smith in Focus. Robbie plays Jess Barrett, a con artist who is still learning her trade when she meets Nicky Spurgeon (Smith), a master of the con. Nicky takes Jess under his wing and brings her into his crew. He also starts feeling romantically drawn to her despite all the warnings that it would be a bad idea.
Years after their parting, Nicky and Jess reunite while seemingly working on different cons targeting Rafael Garriga (Rodrigo Santoro). Can the former couple trust each other long enough to reach their mutual goals? Or do Jess and Nicky need to worry about each other getting in their way?
Focus is streaming on Netflix.
‘Free Fire’ (2016)
Free Fire is an action comedy set in the late ’70s that features Brie Larson as Justine, a woman who set up a meeting between the IRA and a black market weapons dealer, Vernon (Sharlto Copley). Cillian Murphy portrays Chris, one of the leaders of the IRA, and they aren’t happy when the weapons they came for turn out to be the wrong ones.

Tensions between the two groups boil over until a shootout begins, leaving a lot of money in play for the survivors. A third faction is also coming for those funds, with weapons blazing. There may not be anyone left alive to count their cash by the time this film is finished.

‘Bunny’ (2025)
Mo Stark cowrote Bunny and stars as the title character, a gigolo with incredibly bad luck. It’s Bunny’s birthday, and he’s already been gifted with a gig gone terribly wrong, people who want him dead and an inconvenient dead body that could get him sent to prison for murder even if it was technically done in self-defense.
It’s times like these that you find out who your real friends are. Bunny’s got his wife, Bobbie (Liza Colby), his best friend, Dino (Ben Jacobson), their landlord, Linda (Linda Rong Mei Chen), and a few other assorted residents who have his back. Somehow, they need to figure out how to dispose of the body without alerting the cops who are loitering outside. It would also be great if Bunny didn’t have any additional dead bodies to worry about. But as mentioned above, he’s very unlucky.

‘Hell or High Water’ (2016)
Before Taylor Sheridan went on to cocreate the Yellowstone franchise, he wrote the crime thriller Hell or High Water. Chris Pine and Ben Foster take the leading roles as brothers Toby and Tanner Howard, a pair of very desperate men. Their mother is dead, and their land is about to be repossessed by the bank if they don’t come up with the money to pay off the loan.
The solution is simple for these good ol’ boys: They’re gonna rob banks to pay off their debts. Unfortunately for the Howard brothers, they’re getting sloppy and Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton (Jeff Bridges) is closing in on them. Flashing guns in Texas is also a bad idea for the brothers, as the locals and Hamilton start closing in.
Hell or High Water is streaming on Netflix.
