Netflix’s top 10 is constantly changing as new titles are added to the streaming service. For weeks, the thriller “Carry-On” held the No. 1 spot, but as of January 6, it’s been overtaken by an unexpected contender: the underrated action-adventure movie “In the Heart of the Sea.” Released a decade ago, this gripping tale is finally getting the recognition it deserves and is well worth a watch.
It’s always disappointing when movies like this fly under the radar. Back in 2015, “In the Heart of the Sea” struggled at the box office, failing to recoup its $100 million budget and ultimately becoming a commercial flop. Critics were also divided, leaving it with a 42% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite these setbacks, the movie offers more than its reception suggests.
