Hulu brings the action like few other streaming services can. That’s because it can draw upon the vast cinematic library of 20th Century Studios, while also bringing in R-rated action flicks from other studios that Disney+ wouldn’t touch. Each month, Hulu adds a number of new or returning titles that bolster its action lineup.
These are the three action movies that you need to watch in November. Our choices include an underrated video game adaptation, one of our favorite Nicolas Cage movies, and a sequel to one of 20th Century Studios’ most famous franchises. We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix , the best movies on Hulu , the best movies on Amazon Prime Video , the best movies on Max , and the best movies on Disney+ .
Hitman (2007) Before he went on to star in FX’s Justified , Timothy Olyphant played Agent 47 in Hitman , an adaptation of the blockbuster video game franchise. The Organization trained 47 to be one of the best assassins in the world, and eventually sent him to kill Russia’s President Mikhail Belicoff (Ulrich Thomsen). Soon after, 47 is called upon to murder Belicoff’s mistress, Nika Boronina (Olga Kurylenko), because she supposedly witnessed his crime.
When Nika doesn’t recognize 47, he realizes that he’s been framed and used to install someone in power who has stolen Belicoff’s identity. Now, 47 and Nina find themselves on the run from both Russia’s FSB and Interpol, including Agent Mike Whittier (Dougray Scott), who has been looking for 47 for years. Watch Hitman on Hulu .
National Treasure: Book Of Secrets (2007) How do you follow stealing the Declaration of Independence to find a hidden treasure map? For Benjamin Franklin Gates ( Longlegs star Nicolas Cage), the answer lies in clearing the name of his ancestor, Thomas Gates (Joel Gretsch). As established in National Treasure: Book of Secrets , Thomas broke a code for John Wilkes Booth (Christian Camargo) before he assassinated President Lincoln in the last days of the Civil War. Thomas didn’t initially realize Booth’s intent, and he was branded a traitor for his actions.
In the present, Gates encounters a black market dealer, Mitch Wilkinson (Ed Harris), who provides him with the last surviving page from Thomas Gates’ code. This puts Gates and his father, Patrick Henry Gates (Jon Voight), on a new quest to follow the clues and uncover the secrets that have been hidden for over a century. And they aren’t the only ones looking for them .

The Predator (2018) Normally, a Shane Black movie would be set at Christmas, but he broke his own tradition with The Predator . Olivia Munn stars as Casey Brackett, a biologist whose theories about extraterrestrial life are proven when government agent Will Traeger (Sterling K. Brown) recruits her to examine a captive Predator.
Meanwhile, Traeger has also imprisoned Quinn McKenna (Boyd Holbrook), an Army Ranger who narrowly survived his encounter with the creature. Quinn even mailed the Predator’s helmet to himself as proof of its existence before his capture. Unfortunately for the humans, the captive Predator doesn’t take long to remedy his situation.
In the aftermath of the Predator’s escape, Quinn and Casey align with a group of ex-military misfits called the Loonies — including Coyle (Keegan-Michael Key) and Baxley (Thomas Jane). And they had better move fast, because the Predator is now after Quinn’s son, Rory (Jacob Tremblay), after the kid found and used the Predator’s helmet with his Halloween costume.
