Sun Feb 16 06:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Netflix Action Thriller “Aftermath” Tops Charts Despite Scathing Reviews

**New York, NY** – Dylan Sprouse’s new action thriller, “Aftermath,” has unexpectedly claimed the number one spot on Netflix’s movie charts just days after its release on February 10th. The film, which depicts a hostage situation on Boston’s Tobin Memorial Bridge, has quickly risen to popularity, surpassing Amy Schumer’s “Kinda Pregnant.”

However, “Aftermath’s” success on the streaming platform is not matched by critical acclaim. Early viewer reviews on Rotten Tomatoes paint a bleak picture, with many calling it “really, really bad” and even “the absolute worst movie I’ve ever seen.” Critics share similar sentiments, citing a weak script, unconvincing performances (except for Mason Gooding as the villain), and poor visual effects as major drawbacks. The film’s attempt at a tense thriller falls flat, failing to deliver either a gripping hostage drama or entertaining B-movie action.

Despite the negative reception, “Aftermath” continues to draw viewers on Netflix, highlighting the sometimes unpredictable nature of streaming success. Whether the film’s popularity will endure remains to be seen.
