Specifically, the film in question is 2018’s Hunter Killer which has managed to launch its torpedoes at the competition and rise all the way to the number 4 spot on Hulu, according to FlixPatrol. This means it’s one of the most-watched films on the entire platform right now. Not too shabby, huh?
Narratively, Hunter Killer centers on US submarine Captain Joe Glass (Gerard Butler) who is tasked with rescuing another US submarine in the Arctic ocean. Of course, things take a turn for the worse when the Captain inadvertently becomes embroiled in a Russian conspiracy that threatens to shatter peace around the world.
Interestingly, 300‘s Gerard Butler isn’t the only familiar face you’ll recognise on the film’s roster. That’s right, award-winning Hollywood legend Gary Oldman puts in a scenery-chewing performance as a US Admiral, while Terminator Salvation star Lonnie Rashid Lynn aka rapper Common makes an appearance, too. Meanwhile, rounding out the star-studded cast is Brokeback Mountain’s Linda Cardellini and Die Another Day’s villain Toby Stephens.
From a critical perspective, it’s a shame to say it, but Hunter Killer wasn’t exactly a winner with critics. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, Hunter Killer holds a less-than-ideal 37 percent Critical Rating and a much more palatable 68 percent Audience Score. Clearly, the general public were a lot kinder to the Donovan Marsh-directed actioner.
