'Sicario' Meets 'Training Day' in Netflix's New Global Streaming Sensation




With Jason Statham's latest action vehicle, Mutiny, landing in theaters last week, audiences at home were presented with a compelling alternative. Netflix released a new Spanish-language thriller based on a real-life incident, and the film's early performance seems to suggest that the streamer may have a new hit on its hands. Set in the badlands of cartel-controlled Mexico, the movie combines the fact-based thrills of Narcos with the neo-Western scope of Sicario. The movie, written by Taylor Sheridan, is particularly popular on streaming and PVOD even 11 years after its release. Narcos, on the other hand, remains etched in history as one of the first real crossover hits on Netflix. In fact, it made a star out of Wagner Moura, whose recent film, The Last House, was replaced at the number-one spot on the streamer's viewership charts by the new Spanish-language thriller.
