Happy October, Polygon readers!
Summer is officially over and fall is here, as well as a whole assortment of new movies and shows on Netflix. While yes, we’re right smack dab in the middle of the spooky season (with a ton of recommendations for those looking for a tingle up their spine), we’ve got a new batch of thrillers in case you’re looking for something a little more cool and calculated to watch this month.
From Tony Scott’s 2001 spy thriller starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt to a new Netflix original thriller starring Benicio del Toro, there’s plenty to enjoy this month. Here are our picks for the best thrillers to watch on Netflix in October.
Director: Tony Scott
Cast: Robert Redford, Brad Pitt, Catherine McCormack
The late Tony Scott was a master at creating tense action thrillers that gave charismatic actors plenty of room to leave their mark. His body of work is bursting at the seams with bangers, from Top Gun and Crimson Tide to Enemy of the State, Man on Fire, and Déjà Vu.
Compared to those classics, Scott’s 2001 action thriller Spy Game may not get as much attention, but it’s no less an entertaining watch. Robert Redford stars as Nathan Muir, a seasoned CIA case officer with one day left until retirement. When Muir learns that Tom Bishop (Brad Pitt), a CIA field operative and his former protege, has been captured in an Eastern Chinese prison, he springs into action in order to coordinate his rescue and uncover why the agency is so intent on finding a reason to disavow him.
The movie ping-pongs between the past and present, shifting back and forth from a globe-trotting spy thriller to a clandestine bureaucratic drama where lies and rhetorical misdirection are standard tradecraft. It’s awesome to watch the film’s leading men play off of one another, with Redford assuming the role of the jaded mentor and Pitt as the talented yet naive mentee. While comparatively light on explosives, twists, or theatrics, Spy Game is a solid thriller with a capable cast that adds up to an enjoyable experience. —Toussaint Egan
Director: Grant Singer
Cast: Benicio del Toro, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Silverstone
Music video director Grant Singer’s directorial debut is a compelling murder mystery that really jumps out because of how good it looks. Singer and frequent horror movie cinematographer Mike Gioulakis (Us, It Follows, Under the Silver Lake) lend the movie a tangible atmosphere from the start, and even the dark night time scenes are shot with vision and clarity.
Benicio del Toro stars as experienced detective Tom Nichols. He’s relatively new in town to the film’s setting of Scarborough, Maine, after a falling out with his previous police department. When a young real estate agent is murdered, multiple

Apple Watch imports could be banned! Know why
The latest order issued by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) could potentially mean that the import of Apple Watches is banned in the US. This order comes after the ITC found that the Cupertino-based tech giant violated the patent rights of the medical technology company Masimo. Apple smartwatches are some of the priciest devices you can buy right now as they are equipped with a suite of health trackers such as heart rate, ECG, fall detection, SpO2, and more. However, the inclusion of pulse oximeter could prove to be a costly affair for Apple due to a potential ban being slapped on the Apple Watches.
