Whether or not you’re a fan of Mexican movies, it’s undeniable that they excel at blending action, comedy, and thriller elements into productions that keep you on the edge of your seat. “Non Negotiable” is a prime example, quickly rising to the top of the Netflix US charts shortly after its release.
Directed by Juan Taratuto, known for iconic Argentinian comedies like “I Married a Dumbass” and “A Boyfriend for My Wife,” this film seems to have struck gold once again. The public has been speaking wonders about it.
While reviews are mixed, most agree that the picture avoids unnecessary details. It introduces characters rapidly and dives straight into the plot, delivering what viewers want without making them wait.
‘Non Negotiable’ is the fifth most-watched movie on Netflix
For those seeking Sunday night entertainment, Netflix has the perfect option: “Non Negotiable.” It has quickly become the fifth most-watched movie on the platform in the United States.
The title has swiftly surpassed “Hillbilly Elegy” and “Minions,” despite the latter’s high ranking due to the recent release of “Despicable Me 4.” Currently, it’s competing with “Find Me Falling” as it continues to climb the charts.
“Non Negotiable” centers on Alan Bender, Mexico’s top hostage negotiator, who is so dedicated to his job that he neglects his wife, Victoria. As they begin couples therapy, Alan discovers that Victoria is cheating on him with his personal trainer, Nico.
But the situation worsens when Alan receives an unexpected call: the President of Mexico and his wife have been kidnapped. As Alan starts working on the case, the kidnapper abducts Victoria and Nico as well, forcing Alan into a high-stakes situation where he must balance his professional skills with his personal emotions.
The production features a star-studded cast from the Spanish-speaking entertainment industry, including Mauricio Ochmann, Tato Alexander, Geraldine Zinat, Fernanda Borches, and Enoc Leaño, among others.
