A decade after its debut, an Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick directed by David Ayer, which didn’t fare well with critics, has surprisingly become a worldwide streaming sensation.
Once upon a time, this movie was not loved by reviewers and got a low score of 21% on Rotten Tomatoes. But now, it’s like a hidden treasure that people are discovering online. Isn’t it funny how things change over time? Sometimes, movies that aren’t popular at first find their audience later on.
I think it’s cool when old movies get a second chance to shine.
The film’s success on streaming platforms shows how unpredictable the entertainment world can be. One day, something might seem like a flop; the next, it’s the talk of the town. Maybe viewers today see something in it that wasn’t noticed before or they just enjoy the action-packed fun without worrying about critics’ opinions.
Anyway, who doesn’t love a good comeback story?
