Netflix no.1 has just 17% Rotten Tomatoes – is Chan & Cena's movie so bad?

Jackie Chan in Hidden Strike

It takes a brave reviewer to give a movie starring both Jackie Chan and John Cena a poor rating. So if either of you gentlemen are reading this, Hidden Strike, Netflix's new number-one movie is a masterpiece of cinema.

In all seriousness, the reviews have not been kind to Hidden Strike, it currently boasts just a 17% from critics on the reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. However, it does appear to be more of a crowd pleaser with a 56% rating with audiences. That doesn't seem to have held it back though with a staggering 22 million streams already. Perhaps Chan and Cena's fans have come out in force for this July 2023 release. 

So what's it all about? Cena and Chan play two ex-special forces operatives tasked with escorting civilians along Baghdad's "Highway of death". It sounds very generic but - and this is a big but, the trailer does feature a lorry suplexing another lorry. That's not an exaggeration.
