Look, sometimes you just want to watch things blow up. We get it. But even by that low bar, Hidden Strike apparently misses the mark.
This is a 2023 Netflix action movie starring Jackie Chan and John Cena that got absolutely demolished by critics (25% on Rotten Tomatoes, 2.2/5 on Letterboxd). That's not just 'critics being snobby'—those are 'this is genuinely not good' numbers. Even audiences were lukewarm at 54%.
The violence is sustained enough to warrant a 14+ rating, so this isn't family movie night material for younger kids. And for teens who ARE old enough? There are dozens of better action movies on Netflix that deliver actual entertainment value.
Unless you're a hardcore Jackie Chan completist or your teen specifically asks for it, this one's a skip. Life's too short for mediocre action movies when Mad Max: Fury Road exists.
