An underrated Gerard Butler thriller has climbed Netflix’s top 10 chart, with the movie having viewers “on edge” despite its low score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Last week was a big one for Netflix. Squid Game: The Challenge, the multi-million reality TV show adaptation of the original phenomenon, aired its penultimate batch of nail-biting episodes – you can catch up on everything from Episodes 6-9 here.
As always, it’s not just Netflix’s original content that catches subscribers’ eyes – and another forgotten movie has claimed a high spot on the chart.
Gerard Butler’s Hunter Killer climbs Netflix top 10 chart
Hunter Killer, starring Gerard Butler and Gary Oldman, has reached number three on the Netflix top 10 movies chart in the US. You can check out the full current ranking below:

The movie’s official synopsis reads: “Deep under the Arctic Ocean, American submarine Captain Joe Glass (Butler) is on the hunt for a U.S. sub in distress when he discovers a secret Russian coup is in the offing, threatening to dismantle the world order.
“With crew and country on the line, Captain Glass must now assemble an elite group of Navy SEALs to rescue the kidnapped Russian president and sneak through enemy waters to stop WWIII.”
It was a critical and commercial flop upon release in 2018, grossing $31.7 million against its $40 million budget and landing at 37% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nevertheless, the alchemy of Netflix’s algorithm has led many people to give it a go – and plenty of viewers have enjoyed it.
“Submarine warfare movies aren’t usually my vibe. However, Hunter Killer on Netflix had me on the edge,” one user wrote. “Hunter Killer on Netflix… good movie,” another tweeted. “Hunter Killer on Netflix 10/10,” a third posted. “Hunter killer on Netflix bad, my heart beating fast af,” a fourth wrote.
