It’s not been a banner few months for Netflix when it comes to new original movies. The streaming service served up subscribers a summer of mostly subpar efforts, and even the breakout success of “KPop Demon Hunters” was only a brief respite. After being very disappointed with recent originals “The Thursday Murder Club” and “The Woman in Cabin 10” (and while “Steve” was good, it was not great, as I'd hoped), my attention turned to “A House of Dynamite,” which was among my most anticipated Netflix movies of 2025.
In the weeks leading up to its release date, my excitement was quickly turning into caution as Netflix’s cold streak continued, but much to my delight, “A House of Dynamite” did not let me down. I’m relieved to report that this is one Netflix original movie that I can recommend wholeheartedly, and it’s been quite a while since I could say that.
