An Action Movie With Just 7% on RT, Starring a Rocky Franchise Legend, Is Trending on Netflix 1 Year Later

by

November 2025 is shaping up to be a huge month for Netflix. The first four episodes of the final season of Stranger Things will arrive on November 26th, and that’s just the beginning. Subscribers can also enjoy a variety of new movies starting November 1st, including fun, lighthearted options like Charlie’s Angels, Crazy Rich Asians, and festive holiday movies such as Dear Santa and Game Night. There’s even some intense action with the addition of the film Wanted Man.

Dolph Lundgren, known for his roles in films like The Expendables and Rocky IV (which recently had its excellent director’s cut released in theaters), stars in Wanted Man. Since its release mid-month, the film has quickly become popular on Netflix. Let’s take a look at just how well it’s been doing.

What Is Wanted Man About?

In Wanted Man, Dolph Lundgren stars as Detective Travis Johansen. He’s assigned to a case involving a drug deal gone wrong – masked gunmen arrived and killed everyone involved, including an undercover DEA agent. Two young women witnessed the massacre but managed to escape unnoticed.

Two young women are arrested for shoplifting while in Mexico, and Detective Johansen hopes to use them as witnesses to uncover the truth about a failed operation they observed. However, he quickly realizes they were actually seen at the disastrous deal, putting their lives – and his – in danger. Johansen will need help, but he soon discovers he can’t trust anyone, even those he considers allies.

While Wanted Man wasn’t a hit with critics, some viewers appreciate it as a simple, action-packed movie with a charming lead actor. It’s the kind of film you can easily have on while doing something else.

From November 10th to 16th, 2025, the movie ranked as the eighth most popular film on the streaming service among U.S. viewers. Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein remained at number one for a second week, followed by A Merry Little Ex-Mas, the popular KPop Demon Hunters, Being Eddie, the action film The Marksman starring Liam Neeson, No Sleep ‘Til Christmas, and In Your Dreams. Wanted Man was followed by the comedy The Hangover and the holiday movie Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas.
