🔥 Dubbed the Worst Action Film Ever, This Netflix Release Is Somehow Dominating the Top 10!QT

A film that has been dubbed ‘laughable’ and the ‘worst action film ever made’ by viewers has rocketed up the Netflix charts against all odds.

Despite poor reviews from both critics and at-home viewers, with a 50 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 3.7/10 on IMDb, the movie quickly shot up the Top 10 after its release on the platform on April 1.

A Line Of Fire tells the story of former FBI agent Jack ‘Cash’ Conry, played by God’s Not Dead star David A.R. White, as he abandons his role as a spy following the loss of his wife in order to focus on raising his daughters.

However, still driven by a desire to make a difference, he’s dragged back into espionage work after a call from his ex-partner’s niece asking for help.

Assisting Jamie, played by Katrina Bowden, Cash is soon thrown headfirst into a ruthless criminal underworld controlled by Jason Patric’s Josef Amali and Cuba Gooding Jr’s Javier Cardona.

Fans of the genre haven’t held back in ripping apart the action since its initial release in September 2025, slamming it as ‘so bad its good’.

One viewer wrote on social film platform Letterboxd: ‘I genuinely wonder who the audience is for this type of movie.

‘To call this the worst action film I’ve seen would be an underplay, it’s even worse than that. It looks so cheap and it’s filmed so badly it’s almost shocking.’

Another chimed in to agree it was ‘easily the worst film’ they had ever seen, writing: ‘ ‘There was this one death scene that was so bad I had to get someone to come and laugh at it with me.’

A third person raged: ‘Terrible is an understatement for this movie. The writing is so predictable as it follows your generic action movie plot.

‘Not to mention the actors do not help better the movie as they were also terrible. The script is a bunch of 1 liners that the actors failed to deliver.

‘If I could get back the time wasted on this movie, I would gladly do so.’

Others stepped in to defend the film, and while admitting it was ‘terrible’, suggesting it ‘transcends badness’ and ‘becomes pure entertainment’.

One wrote: ‘This movie is so spectacularly, catastrophically awful that it transcends badness and becomes pure entertainment gold. Sometimes disaster creates accidental art.’

Another chimed in: ‘Invite your friends over to watch and, if they still talk to you after it’s over, you hit the jackpot in life. 1 star – and that’s only because zero isn’t an option.’

It comes after a ‘horrendously bad’ thriller starring Ross Kemp shot up the UK Netflix charts, despite viewers describing it as ‘the worst drama ever produced.’

Blindsided was first broadcast on Channel 5 in 2023 and saw Ross make his first serious return to acting for more than two decades.

Consisting of four parts, the show sees the actor step into the shoes of police officer Tony Warden, who heads up the missing person’s investigation that dominates the show’s plot.

Its synopsis reads: ‘When a woman vanishes from the estate where she once saw a murder, a CCTV operator spots an eerie connection and digs into a case no one will touch.’

The show also stars Beth Alsbury, Crystal Clarke, Sue Vincent, Michelle Bonnard and Lewis Conway.

Ross told Radio Times that he was drawn to the story as he ‘thought it was clever, in terms of what the story is about, about people being watched and how people interpret being watched.’

Viewers did not hold back in their criticisms of the thriller, admitting that it is so bad that it actually becomes a good watch for comedic value alone.

They wrote on IMDb: ‘This is so horrendously bad – I’m addicted to it. If this was Ross Kemp doing a documentary on bad acting, I’d give it a 10/10.’;

‘Some of the [worst] TV you’re likely to see. Made of a budget of about 20 quid. Awful acting. Terrible writing and it honestly takes itself so seriously that it becomes a comedy. How this was ok to transmit to the public I don’t know.’

‘Prepare yourself for a catastrophic collision of terrible storytelling, abysmal acting, and mind-numbingly poor production values. Blindspot is a prime example of how not to create compelling television.’

Netflix viewers were equally harsh with their assessments of the series on Twitter/X following its release on the streaming platform this week.

They wrote: ‘Had to abandon #blindspot on Netflix. The acting is abysmal. The main character has a weird smirk on her face in every scene. She’s a proper sh*t actor.’;

‘Just watched blindspot on Netflix. So so bad, but addictive. Like one of them daytime soaps my mum would watch in the 80s when we had 4 channels to choose from to pass the time.’;

‘This Blindspot on Netflix is absolutely shocking, but I need to know what happens.’

Ross Kemp is best known for playing Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, a role he occupied from 1990 to 1999

Others added: ‘Just watched Blindspot on Netflix. So so bad, but addictive. Like one of them daytime soaps my mum would watch in the 80s when we had 4 channels to choose from to pass the time.’

‘Watching Blindspot on Netflix. I think 1 episode is enough. Not for me.’

Prior to the show’s release in 2023, Kemp opened up about being nervous about returning to acting to the Radio Times.

He said: ‘The reason I probably haven’t acted is because people just think, “He’s a documentarian, that’s what he wants to do”.

‘I was genuinely nervous and worried about it. But I also hope that having not touched anything in nearly 20 years as an actor, and that’s ultimately what I trained to do, hopefully I haven’t gotten any worse, and maybe I’ve improved slightly with age.’

Ross Kemp is best known for playing Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, a role he occupied from 1990 to 1999.

He has acted sporadically since then, predominately appearing in documentaries such as Ross Kemp Behind Bars: Inside Barlinnie and Ross Kemp: Shipwreck Treasure Hunter.
