A House of Dynamite, the newest film from Kathryn Bigelow, the Oscar-winning director of The Hurt Locker, and her first film since 2017’s Detroit, has become quite a significant hit on Netflix. According to data from FlixPatrol, the film has topped Netflix’s global streaming charts. This success even comes after the film was released amid stiff competition, including the documentary Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer and the Colin Farrell drama/thriller The Ballad of a Small Player.

A House of Dynamite is a political thriller starring Rebecca Ferguson as the head of the White House’s Situation Room, where she and the people around her, including Idris Elba as the President, must navigate a tense Doomsday scenario after a nuclear missile is discovered heading towards the United States. The film is getting praise for its unique narrative structure, in which the same sequence of events is presented from the perspectives of various characters. In addition to Ferguson and Elba, the film features Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, Greta Lee, Jason Clarke and Jonah Hauer-King to top off the star-studded cast.

The film has received decently positive reviews since its release on Netflix. The film currently holds a positive 76% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film has been seen as a possible awards contender throughout its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival, given the critically acclaimed reputation of Kathryn Bigelow from her previous filmography.
