A Forgotten Dave Bautista Movie Is Dominating Netflix Today

Get the Full StoryOut of Hollywood s three former professional wrestlers that decided to step away from the squared circle and focus on the silver screen, Dave Bautista is arguably the better actor, as well as the most interesting in terms of the roles he chooses.

Dwayne Johnson might be the biggest and highest-paid star in Hollywood with charisma for days, but he s become averse to taking any sort of risks, and can be found almost exclusively in big budget blockbusters where he plays variations of the same character over and over again.

John Cena is an underrated comic talent, but he too is happy to split his time between action-orientated fare like Fast and Furious 9 and The Suicide Squad alongside standard studio comedies Playing with Fire and Blockers without testing himself in more dramatic territory. Of course, Bautista is part of the most popular franchise on the planet and isn t above lending his talents to B-level shoot em ups either, but he s shown a vulnerable side and surprising depth in movies such as Bushwick, Blade Runner 2049, Hotel Artemis and next year s Dune.

One of the 51 year-old s lesser efforts is currently dominating Netflix though, and because Marauders is a low budget, derivative and completely uninspired action thriller, Bruce Willis is also unsurprisingly involved. The heist movie is currently the second most-watched title on the streaming service in the United States, continuing the bizarre trend of Willis descent into VOD mediocrity proving inexplicably popular with subscribers.

Marauders is the sort of thing you put on in the background when you know fine well you re just going to be looking at your phone anyway, and even then you still won t miss much.
