John Cena’s acting career has been almost as prolific as his trajectory in professional wrestling. In the Hollywod industry, he is a timeless sensation, as proven by the fact that his 2023 film “Freelance” is currently one of the most-watched movies on Prime Video worldwide.
Whether his productions are highly or poorly rated, Cena’s dedication to delivering massive hits remains unwavering. Only four months have passed since the start of 2024, and he has already starred in “Argylle” and “Ricky Stanicky,” two pictures that rank highly on their respective streaming platforms.
Furthermore, he has seven upcoming projects according to IMDb, some of which are highly anticipated, such as the second season of “Peacemaker.” Despite his constant stream of movie and series releases, “Freelance” continues to gain popularity.
Freelance became the Top 4 movie on Prime Video worldwide
John Cena’s fans have a particular affinity for his action and comedy roles, making it no surprise that “Freelance” has risen to become the fourth most-watched movie on Prime Video globally.
The film not only outperformed “Jurassic World Dominion,” a heavyweight in the catalog, but it’s also in a tight race with Camila Mendes and “Upgraded” for the third spot in the ranking.
Its story follows Mason Pettits, a former special forces operative, who hesitantly accepts a freelance job to safeguard a journalist while she interviews a South American dictator. In the midst of the event, they’re faced with a military coup threat, forcing them to team up in order to survive in the jungle.
While John Cena shines as the lead, he is supported by co-stars Alison Brie and Juan Pablo Raba. The ensemble cast also includes performances by Christian Slater, Alice Eve, and Marton Csokas.
Critics haven’t been too generous with their reviews of “Freelance,” but action enthusiasts embraced it for delivering the classic John Cena experience: intense fight scenes, explosions, car crashes, and a touch of family-friendly humor.
