Seized is now on Netflix in the United States
Welcome back to your roundups of what’s new on Netflix. We’ve been absent for the past week but we’re back today digging through all the new movies and TV shows that have landed on Netflix in the United States. We’ve got five new releases to go through so let’s take a look at what’s new and what’s trending on Netflix for November 9th, 2021.
A bit of housekeeping before we move into our highlights for the day. A Single Man (A Film by Tom Ford) is set to depart Netflix US tomorrow. You also only have a couple of days left to watch the incredible Fruitvale Station which leaves on Thursday.
As we mentioned in our weekly preview, this week’s big new title is Red Notice which hits on Friday but there’s also a handful of other must-watch movies still to come too.
Best New Movies & Shows on Netflix for November 9th
Seized (2020)
Genre: Action, Thriller
Director: Isaac Florentine
Cast: Scott Adkins, Mario Van Peebles, Steven Elder
Writer: Richard Lowry
Runtime: 85 min
If you want a brand new action thriller to watch then Seized, distributed by Lionsgate Home Entertainment in the US, has just touched down onto Netflix.
The movie follows a former special agent called Nero who takes on multiple crime syndicates in the hopes of returning his son.
Seized sits at a 5.2 on IMDb as of the time of publishing.
Let Me In (2010)
Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Horror
Director: Matt Reeves
Cast: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloë Grace Moretz, Richard Jenkins
Writer: Matt Reeves, John Ajvide Lindqvist
Runtime: 116 min
Yes, Halloween is now over but what that traditionally means is that horror movie licenses come up for renewal and today, Netflix scooped two excellent horrors. The one we think you should give a watch is the 11-year-old movie Let Me In is directed by Matt Reeves.
Scoring 88% on RottenTomatoes (a rarity for the genre on the site), this movie sees “a 12-year-old befriending a new neighbor, who helps him stand up to bullies. She also brings a dark, unearthly secret into his world.”
Swap Shop (Season 1)
Genre: Reality-TV
Runtime: 33 mins
Furthering its foray into reality programming, Netflix is taking on the US phenomenon that is the Swap Shop radio show. Although my only knowledge of the format is from Richard and Sal pranking these types of shows for Howard Stern, they turn out to be a good place to find all sorts of treasure.
Throughout the series, you’ll get to see how the experts navigate the deals and pick up the best items.
