With 46.8 million views in less than a week, this action film sits at the top of Netflix’s weekly charts and arouses the curiosity of subscribers.
It is not always easy to predict in advance which programs will be a big hit on streaming platforms. If certain more confidential programs have experienced unexpected success (this is the case of My little reindeer for example), recipes have however proven their effectiveness: action, a five-star cast, humor… In short, all the ingredients conducive to entertainment.
The successes of Red Notice, Don’t Look Up, Carry-On, which are all in the top 10 of the most popular English-language films on Netflix, were able to try this recipe. Just like the streaming platform’s latest action blockbuster, which sits at the top of Netflix’s charts. Less than a week after its release, it already has 46.8 million views according to figures from the viewing giant!
Directed by Seth Gordon (How to kill your boss, Everything except with family), Back in action is a family action comedy starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz. This is the actress’s first role in ten years, since she decided to take a break from her career. The two American actors play a spy couple, who have decided to return to anonymity to take care of their family. But their cover is finally discovered and revenge is brewed against them. They must then take their children on an adventure that they had not planned.
-Quite predictable and anecdotal, Back in action remains relatively entertaining. In the absence of an effective or original scenario, his acting duo helps save the furniture. Amusing at the time, the fiction nevertheless remains not very memorable in the absence of strong themes and issues.
However, subscribers seem not to be able to stop seeing it, since the film remains at the top of the streaming platform’s ranking, in France but also abroad. It thus achieves the biggest debut of an English-language Netflix film in an opening weekend since… The Adam Projectreleased in 2022. You will have understood, if you are curious, you have to go to Netflix!
