Hidden Strike, a buddy-action-themed Chinese-American co-production pairing John Cena with 69-year-old Jackie Chan, which sat on the shelf for five full years due to diplomatic issues, failed to deliver the goods for suddenly struggling Netflix, debuting to only 37.8 million viewing hours and 22 million views for the week of July 24-30.
Though the film, themed around two special forces guys blowing stuff up, managed to lead Netflix’s English-language films category this week, Hidden Strike arrived already way down in the count with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 17%, and some reviews calling the title “brain dead.”
