Land of Bad : Le thriller d’action de Russell Crowe fait un carton sur Netflix

Russell Crowe’s Action Thriller “Land of Bad” Becomes a Global Hit on Netflix

“Land of Bad,” an under-the-radar action thriller from 2024, co-written and directed by William Eubank, has made a splash on Netflix with 8.7 million views. The film follows a US Army special forces team ambushed during a mission, with their survival hinging on an Air Force drone operator. Starring Russell Crowe, Liam Hemsworth, Luke Hemsworth, Ricky Whittle, and Milo Ventimiglia, the movie has garnered positive reviews for its solid survival plot and well-crafted cast.

A Global Hit on Netflix

Despite a lukewarm reception at the box office, “Land of Bad” gained popularity on Netflix, ranking as the third-most watched movie globally for the week of July 15-21. With 8.7 million views and 16.6 million hours viewed, it trailed behind Trolls Band Together and the new Netflix original Find Me Falling in the Top 10 chart.

Russell Crowe’s Career Trajectory

Russell Crowe, once an A-list leading man in Hollywood, has faced critical setbacks in recent years, potentially leading to his relegation to a B-list actor. Despite past successes like “Gladiator” and “A Beautiful Mind,” Crowe’s more recent films have failed to make a significant impact, both critically and commercially.

“Land of Bad” represents a departure from Crowe’s recent track record, with positive reviews highlighting its thrilling narrative and strong cast. Although the film failed to impress at the box office, its success on Netflix might serve as a redemption of sorts for its initial reception.
