Henry Cavill’s Clichéd Thriller Is Officially the Streaming Guilty Pleasure You Can’t Skip

Collider · 42 minutes ago

Despite receiving poor critical reviews, the 2019 thriller Night Hunter (also released as Nomis) has become a surprise streaming success on Paramount+. The film starring Henry Cavill, though heavily criticised and seemingly buried upon its release, now ranks among the platform's most-watched titles globally, demonstrating Cavill's enduring appeal as a streaming draw regardless of critical reception.

Night Hunter holds a 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics describing it as "contrived and clichéd." Despite this dismissal, the film has spent 260 days on Paramount+'s top-10 list this year, nearly matching major blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick and World War Z, which have spent 262 days on the charts. The ensemble cast includes Ben Kingsley, Alexandra Daddario, Stanley Tucci, Minka Kelly, and Nathan Fillion.
