The actor’s flop is now a very ironic neighbor of a big animated hit.

Not a single week passes without Netflix ’s surprising updates of the streaming’s top 10 chart, and there’s a very unexpected newcomer that has somehow attracted enough attention to now be sitting at the sixth position on the US chart.

According to the most recent data provided by FlixPatrol, Antonio Banderas’ biggest flop Security has suddenly become one of the most-watched movies globally as the film now holds the seventh place in the global chart and the sixth place in the US top 10.

Ironically, Security now came very close to Banderas’ other movie, the animated hit flick Shrek, which is now holding the fifth spot in the American chart.

What Is Security About?

Also starring Gabriella Wright and Ben Kingsley, Security is an action-packed movie that follows ex-special services veteran Eddie Deacon, portrayed by Banderas, who, while being stranded and with no job, takes up a security guard position at a local mall.

Eddie’s first night at the new workplace turns out to be the beginning of a dangerous chase as he opens the doors to a young girl who escaped from a hijacking. In an attempt to save her, Eddie embarks on a whole new mission that will eventually make him collide with a psychopathic hijacker who sees no obstacles to what he desires to get.

Upon its release back in 2017, Security had zero luck with both critics and viewers, despite having Antonio Banderas in the leading role. The movie became a total flop, earning around $776,000 against the initial budget of $15 million, and, while having a “no comment” moment from the professionals who left the film with no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, Security got a miserable score of 34% from the audience back then.

The reason why Security is everyone’s favorite on Netflix now is shrouded in mystery, though earlier some viewers noted that the movie is able to boast of at least Banderas’ powerful performance, and that seems to be enough for many to go and check the flick out.
