Sometimes good movies need just a little bit of time to find their audience and that appears to be the case with “Number 24," Netflix’s stirring new war thriller. This Norwegian movie landed on the streaming service on January 1, but it’s taken almost two weeks to make an impression on the platform’s most-watched list. But its current ranking is richly deserved.
As of today (January 13), “Number 24” has claimed the No. 9 spot on the global Netflix top 10 list, and I’d love to see it climb the charts even higher in the days ahead. Having streamed the movie myself, I’d rank it as Netflix’s first must-watch movie of 2025 and was deeply moved by its dramatic portrayal of a Norwegian war hero, Gunnar Sønsteby, who led a resistance group in Oslo.
