Following the popularity of her action series *Black Doves*, is back with a new mystery thriller. While the film has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, it still premiered as the most-watched title globally on its streaming platform. This new movie is the type that quickly gains attention on Netflix, thanks to promotions like on-screen ads and direct marketing, and it’s off to a strong start.
While based on the popular novel by Ruth Ware, a New York Times bestselling author, the movie *The Woman in Cabin 10* generally doesn’t meet viewers’ expectations. Here’s a brief overview of the story:
Okay, so I just got back from a screening, and let me tell you, this movie really grabbed me. It centers around a journalist who’s on assignment, enjoying what *should* be a glamorous trip on a luxury yacht. But things take a seriously dark turn when she witnesses someone being thrown overboard. The really unsettling part? Everyone – the crew, the other passengers – insists it *didn’t* happen. They say everyone’s accounted for, and no one believes her. But she’s convinced she saw something, and she’s determined to find out the truth, even if it puts her in real danger. It’s a classic ‘no one will believe me’ setup, but it’s executed really well, and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The story feels like something we’ve seen before, and while the book was a page-turner, the movie – a quick 92 minutes long – has been widely panned. Critics and audiences alike have called it everything from “terrible” to “a disaster,” and many disliked the predictable and overly empowering ending. It currently has a 27% rating from critics and 33% from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes. Though the cast – including Keira Knightley, Guy Pearce, Art Malik, and Hannah Waddingham – has received some praise, many viewers are left wondering what motivated such talented actors to appear in this film.
Look, I always go by what people are actually watching, and right now, *The Woman in Cabin 10* is killing it on Netflix. It’s totally taken the number one spot, bumping even stuff like *Kpop Demon Hunters*, that new Brazilian film *Caramelo*, and even *Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire* – which, yeah, came back for another run, but still got overtaken. Numbers don’t lie, and everyone’s clearly checking this one out!
‘The Woman in Cabin 10’ Is Another “Bad” Netflix Hit
Netflix
Apple TV+ is known for offering a limited selection of consistently high-quality shows and films. Netflix, in contrast, is taking a different approach. They’ve built a habit of canceling shows after only one season, and while they often acquire foreign-language films that become popular, those films frequently receive poor reviews. This creates a puzzling situation where Netflix’s biggest hits aren’t necessarily well-made, yet still draw huge audiences.
Despite being fairly unremarkable, *The Woman in Cabin 10* is currently popular on Netflix. These days, a film doesn’t need to be great to top streaming charts. The movie benefits from strong leads – Keira Knightley and Guy Pearce – and promises a thrilling mystery, which is enough to draw viewers in, even if they aren’t impressed by the end.
The Woman in Cabin 10 is streaming now on Netflix.
