Today, the streaming film is a well -established phenomenon. Modern analogue of the terrible film direct-to-video, streaming films are embodied by, say, Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon a romantic comedy that takes over the premiere video. Or maybe Cameron Diaz's first film in 11 years, which, although disrupted by horrible examinations, still manages to dominate Netflix. So, an action thriller from the second Titanic director unit? "Netflix certainly wrote that.

However, it is interesting, "Renegades", by director Steven Kwalle ("Final Destination 5"), received a theater edition in 2017. It was not in the United States, but it was still a theater edition. Unfortunately, when you spend the equivalent of $ 77.5 million on film, you certainly hope to do more than $ 1.5 million At the box office, even if it hit theaters in Germany and France. "Renegades" (also known as "American Renegadi") saw a theater debut in both European countries in 2017 and found its way sideways through the DVD and Blu-Ray edition of Lionsgate. But it not only failed to make big money, it was a completely critical failure; "Calmaty" is the only word I can think of covering.

So what is "Renegadi" and why do everyone hate it? It is a film written by Luke Besson and Richard Wank for a team of naval seals that go on a mission to pull out the stolen Nazi gold from a sunken city at the bottom of the lake. If it sounds like a kind of bombastic shareholder that can be so bad, it's good, look at his 11% Rotten tomatoes score. Hey, at least there is JK Simmons in it for some reason.

But wait. Just as Renegades seemed like a kind of film that would never get any mainstream recognition, a savior appears to use the unfortunate action movie from the dark depths of ambiguity. Yes, Netflix viewers see this job in riding.

"Renegades" ... Do you really want to know the whole plot of this? Outside the Nazi gold and the Navy, there is very little else to cover up, but if you like the idea of ​​FC Simmons as a strict admiral with the appeal of his inconsistent soldiers, it has it. However, 11% of rotten tomatoes ... hits.

But Netflix subscribers obviously can't get enough of Steven Cale's unprecedented film. According to FlixpatrolA page that follows the figures of streaming viewing across the various platforms, the film actually did well on Netflix, where it is currently number three of the most watched film charts in the United States. On February 2, 2025, just one day after debuting the service, he entered the charts at the number two before slipping the number three the day later. But that still means that, for a day, it has exceeded Ralph Fienne on a pleasant evil holiday, "menu", " Who is at the time of this writing is the number one movie that is a streaming film by Netflix in the United States.

Will Renegades be able to fight his way to the first place? Well, you will have to beat the inexplicably powerful "back into action". The disappearance of Cameron Diaz from Hollywood For 11 years it was obvious enough to ensure that her return would be a big deal, and "Back in Action" now dominates Netflix charts in a few weeks. It is currently the number two of the US list, which means Renegades has his job. If the film can overcome the right reviews and the appeal of Diaz to do the job, however, it will be a small victory for Kwalle and whatever the European distributor has lost millions of his film - but still victory.
