Netflix added the action-thriller movie “Renegades” on February 1, and it didn’t waste time climbing the top 10. At the time of writing, it’s sitting in the No. 2 spot, just behind the streamer’s latest blockbuster flick “Back in Action.”
On paper, it's easy to see why “Renegades” is suddenly trending on the streaming service: an intriguing premise involving Navy SEALs, a hidden treasure, and explosive set pieces should make for a thrilling watch. Plus, with Luc Besson (of “Taken” and “The Fifth Element” fame) attached as a co-writer, you’d expect something at least entertaining.
