It can seem like there is little rhyme or reason to which films reach Netflix 's 'Top 10' list, with a motley mix of critically acclaimed films scrapping with low-quality B-movies for the top spot. According to Netflix's audience, this has never been more true than in the rise of The Interceptor to the number one spot on the streaming platform.
The action-thriller flick has been panned as "the worst" on the platform by audience critics on Rotten Tomatoes, who have given the film a tragic 19 per cent rating on the site. Or, as one reviewer said of the unexpected hit: "GALACTICALLY BAD".
Surprisingly, the film's co-writer and director Matthew Reilly told Variety that he was "just as confused as everyone else" to see his film reach the number one spot in the 'Top 10 Films' listing in countries around the world. He said: “It’s blown me away, I was hoping to sneak into the top 10 on Netflix, but coming in at number one everywhere?
