Netflix's new No. 1 movie is a pulse-pounding action thriller with Gerard Butler — and I didn't expect to enjoy it this much
A new-to-Netflix Gerard Butler action-thriller has just dethroned "KPop Demon Hunters" as the streaming service's latest No. 1 movie. Back in 2023, Butler reteamed with director Ric Roman Waugh ("Angel Has Fallen", "Greenland") for "Kandahar," a spy action film that sees a covert CIA operative (Butler) and his translator trying to escape enemy territory. Fast forward to now, and "Kandahar" just recently came to Netflix, where the movie's managed to oust the streamer's animated musical sensation from the top spot. As someone who enjoys some of Butler's better action movies, I went in expecting a fairly disposable affair (and anticipating something lesser, if I'm honest). However, I was pleasantly surprised: while it's not about to go down as a genre classic, "Kandahar" is certainly better than its mixed reviews would suggest If you'd spotted "Kandahar" in Netflix's top 10 movies list, and were wondering whether to stream it for yourself, here's a little more info about the movie, and a round-up of reactions to help you make up your mind. Ric Roman Waugh's "Kandahar" is a 2023 action thriller movie that sees Gerard Butler starring as an undercover CIA operative who gets stuck in deep in hostile territory in Afghanistan. Following a sabotage mission in Iran, he's recruited by his handler for another covert op, but his cover is blown, and he's the subject of a manhunt. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Accompanied by his translator, Mohammad "Mo" Doud (Navid Negahban), Harris faces the fight of his life to head to an extraction point in Kandahar, as elite enemy forces and foreign spies try to track them down. In addition to Butler and Negahban, "Kandahar" also stars Ali Fazal, Travis Fimmel, Bahador Foladi, Nina Toussaint-White, Vassilis Koukalani, Mark Arnold, Tom Rhys Harries, and Corey Johnson, among others. "Kandahar" is a perfectly fine watch. If you're in the mood for a bit of behind-enemy-lines tension or have an appetite for some adrenaline-fuelled action, your needs should be met here. As long as you don't mind waiting for that action, at least. It takes a fair while for things to kick into gear (we're talking close to an hour before the action starts), once Tom and Mo are on the run, "Kandahar" has decent thrills on offer. It makes some effort to lean further into the political issues behind its escape-from-enemy territory plot, but otherwise, "Kandahar" isn't really anything new. Tom Harris is your run-of-the-mill protagonist, with the same history and motivation you've seen these types have before, but Butler plays these characters well. "Kandahar" is not a movie that will break into my all-time favorites list, but it's also a cut above some of Butler's lesser efforts, and a movie that gets my recommendation. That said, "Kandahar" did prove a divisive watch among critics. At present, it holds a 45% score on Rotten Tomatoes (from 102 accredited reviews), with a brutal critics' consensus that reads "Gerard Butler remains a sturdy screen presence, but even for hardcore action fans, "Kandahar" is hardly worth watching." Glenn Kenny gave it a two-star rating, writing: "I'm all for a juicy, action-packed Gerard Butler movie. A Gerard Butler movie that wants to have its geopolitics taken seriously is a different matter. And honestly, it's an even more different matter when the movie is now particularly juicy or, you know, action-packed." Empire's John Nugent offered a more positive take in his 3-star review, describing "Kandahar" as "mostly mature, considered stuff, from a director-star combo who seem keen to defy expectations above their usual cheap-and-cheerful prospects." THR's Frank Scheck, meanwhile, said "Kandahar" was "the year's second best film about an American and his translator in Afghanistan," (behind Guy Ritchie's "The Covenant"), and praised Butler's performance... though he also said the action and the some of "Kandahar's" quieter, talkier scenes were "underwhelming". In short, then, "Kandahar" probably isn't a movie you need to drop everything to stream right away, but if you're in the market for a new action thriller, it could be a decent option now that you can stream "Kandahar" on Netflix. If you're not sold on "Kandahar," though, we can still help you find something new to watch.

Netflix drops first trailer for one of my most anticipated dark thriller shows — and it's a bold twist on revenge
Every week, I like to scroll through Netflix's page for new and trending releases to see what's coming and what to keep on my radar. Months ago, I spotted the dark thriller series 'The Resurrected' in its coming soon section, with nothing but a mysterious cover image and a very brief synopsis. Even with just those scraps of information, my interest was piqued. 'The Resurrected' is a Taiwanese revenge thriller in which two desperate mothers resurrect the deceased ringleader of a telecommunications fraud ring to avenge their kidnapped daughters. It's not a premise I've ever come across before, as bringing someone back to life solely for revenge is a pretty wild hook. After months of waiting, we finally have our first trailer, along with a release date of October 9. That's pretty perfect timing for the Halloween lead-up. On death row, Chang Shih-kai (Fu Meng-Po) is strapped to the execution platform. His mother, Yueh-sin (Chung Hsin-ling), wears an unsettling smile as she looks on, while two women, Wang Hui-chun (Shu Qi) and Chao Ching (Sinje Lee), the relatives of his victims, watch with cold detachment. The execution is over in moments. For Wang, it brings no closure, only a sharper edge to her grief and fury. In a cruel twist, death feels less like justice for Chang and more like an escape. Refusing to let him slip away so easily, Wang and Chao perform a forbidden ritual that pulls him back from the grave, but only for seven days. In that brief span, Chang finds himself stripped of freedom and trapped in their unrelenting quest for vengeance, enduring both physical torment and moral reckoning. Of course, resurrecting such evil comes with consequences, and the trailer makes it clear that their revenge soon spirals out of control. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Along with the trailer and release date, we also got a longer synopsis: 'Set in the fictional city of Benkha, The Resurrected centers on two mothers united by hatred, seeking revenge for their daughters caught in a fraud and kidnapping case. 'With help from a mysterious goddess, they revive the deceased ringleader of the fraud scheme to punish him. Yet, despite inflicting relentless pain, their fury remains unquenched. As dark secrets unravel, their alliance is tested, forcing them to confront the limits of justice and their own morality.' Helmed by Leste Chen ('Eternal Summer') and Hsu Chao-jen ('Living'), this revenge thriller brings together a strong creative team. Leading the cast are internationally acclaimed actresses Shu Qi and Sinje Lee, making their first appearance in a Chinese-language Netflix series. The lineup also includes a special guest role from Golden Horse Award winner Alyssa Chia. Shu Qi said (h/t Variety): 'I'm really looking forward to it. When I first received the script, I felt it was a bold and groundbreaking story — not just for me as an actress, but also for Chinese-language series in general. I've already seen some rough cuts during dubbing, but when I saw the teaser, I still went, 'Wow!'' Sinje Lee also added: 'I've never encountered a female-driven story that's so intense, a little wild, and deeply emotional. It was such a thrill to be a part of it, and of course, I'm even more excited for the day we get to share it with audiences around the world.' 'The Resurrected' is already on my must-watch list, and I'm even more excited for the colder months to roll around. Being a Halloween lover, I'm always on the lookout for darker thrillers to dive into, and Netflix is delivering with this supernatural series dropping at the start of October. Even better, the first two episodes will be showcased at the 30th Busan International Film Festival this September, so we're bound to start seeing early reactions and buzz well before the official release. The premise alone has me hooked because it feels fresh compared to the usual revenge thrillers. The idea of bringing someone back to life for revenge is a bold concept and one I haven't really seen before. With such talented directors and actors involved, I'm confident it's going to be intense and emotional. Stream 'The Resurrected' on Netflix starting October 9.

Pluto TV's free true crime channel may keep you up until 3 a.m. (and it's worth it)
We've all fallen down a true crime rabbit hole at some point. Maybe it started with a podcast, a "Dateline" episode or that one docuseries all your friends were talking about. For me, it started as background noise while I recovered from a broken ankle. What was supposed to be a quick glance while attempting to work turned into a full-blown obsession, and it's all thanks to the Pluto TV's true crime channel. If you haven't heard of it, Pluto TV is one of the best free streaming services out there. It offers live channels and on-demand content across genres, from reality TV to movies, classic sitcoms, and yes, a whole channel dedicated to true crime. Best of all, it's totally free, supported by ads, and you don't even need to create an account to start watching. Just download the app or go to the website, pick a channel, and start streaming. There are dozens to choose from, but here's why I'm locked into the true crime channel. There are over a dozen reasons that I can't stop watching, and they mostly stem from the kinds of content on rotation with this channel. There's a steady rotation of episodes from shows like "Forensic Files," "Cold Case Files," "Dominick Dunne's Power, Privilege, and Justice" and "Unsolved Mysteries." You might start watching one to kill time, but before you know it, you've watched six in a row and have very strong opinions about forensic luminol. It's that always-on format that makes it so easy to leave it running, so that's what I do. There's something deeply nostalgic about binge-watching on Pluto TV. Unlike Netflix or HBO Max, where you select specific titles to watch, it feels more like flipping through cable channels in the early 2000s, when I grew up watching whatever was on TV — which usually included true crime series and documentaries. Whoever programmed this channel knows exactly what kind of viewers they're attracting. These aren't slow-paced crime procedurals. The shows here get straight to the point: There's a dead body. There's a detective. There's a suspect who 'wasn't acting quite right.' And soon enough, there's a lab technician saying something chilling like, "It turned out the fibers matched." And all of those elements add up to a satisfying story that you want to follow, even when it's late at night.
