2017 Navy Seal Movie with JK Simmons becomes a streaming hit on Netflix

Today the streaming film is a well-established phenomenon. A modern analogue of the dreaded direct-to-video film, streaming films, are, for example, legally embodied. A Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon Romantic Comedy, the Prime Video takes over. Or maybe Cameron Diaz ‘first film in 11 years, which is affected by terrible reviews, but still manages to dominate Netflix. So an action thriller of the second unit director of “Titanic?” Netflix certainly wrote that about it.

Interestingly, “Renegades” from filmmaker Steven Quale (“Final Destination 5”) received a cinema publication in 2017. It was still in the USA, but it was still a theater publication. If you spend the equivalent of 77.5 million US dollars for a film, you will unfortunately hope more than more than more than 1.5 million US dollars At the box office, even if it only comes to cinemas in Germany and France. “Renegades” (also known as “American Renegades”) experienced a theater debut in the two European countries in 2017 and found the way through a DVD and Blu-ray publication by Lionsgate. But not only couldn’t make a lot of money, it was also a direct critical failure. “Misfortune” is the only word I can imagine.

So what is “Renegades” and why does everyone hate it? It is a film by Luc Besson and Richard Wenk about a team of marine seals that deal with the mission to get stolen Nazi gold from a sunken city on the bottom of a lake. If that sounds like a kind of bombastic actioner that is so bad that it is good, take a look at the 11% Lazy tomatoes Points. Hey, at least for some reason it has JK Simmons in it.

But wait. Just as “Renegades” looked like a kind of film that would never maintain a kind of mainstream recognition, a savior appears to train the unfortunate action film from the dark depths of darkness. Yes, Netflix viewers watch this thing in droves.

“Renegades” … do you really want the full action to this? Beyond Nazi gold and marine, there is very little to cover, but if you like the idea of JK Simmons as a strict admiral with a preference for the atomizer for the atomizer of his insubordinate soldiers, it has it for itself. Nevertheless 11% on lazy tomatoes … Yikes.

But Netflix subscribers apparently cannot get enough of Steven Quality before. Accordingly FlixpatrolAs a site, on which the numbers for the audience on the various platforms track, the film on Netflix actually did pretty well, where he is currently number three in the most observed film charts. On February 2, 2025, just one day after the debut on duty, number two came into the charts before rushing number three a day later. But that still means that it has exceeded for a day Ralph Fiennes’ wonderfully evil festival, “the menu”, “The menu” What is streaming film number one on Netflix in the USA at the time of this letter.

Will “Renegades” be able to fight the way to the first place? Well, it has to defeat the inexplicably powerful “again in action”. Cameron Diaz ‘disappear from Hollywood She has apparently been enough for 11 years to ensure that her return would be a big deal, and “Back in Action” has been dominating the Netflix charts for a few weeks. It is currently number two in the US rankings, which means that “Renegades” has cut out its work for it. If the film can overcome really abysmal reviews and the attraction of Diaz to do the work, it will be a small victory for agony and whatever the European sales dealer has lost millions in his film – but still a victory.
