Mel Gibson’s 3-Year-Old Disastrous Action Movie Becomes Netflix Hit

Force of Nature is a hit on Netflix three years after flopping in 2020. The movie, which stars Mel Gibson as Ray (a retired police officer), Emile Hirsch as Cardillo (a current officer), Kate Bosworth as Troy (Ray’s daughter, who is a doctor), and Will Catlett as Griffin (Ray’s neighbor whose pet Janet provides an intriguing mystery) follows a group of people facing off with thieves in Puerto Rico during a hurricane evacuation order. The movie was poorly received, earning 29 out of 100 on Metacritic as well as dismal Rotten Tomatoes scores from critics (8%) and audiences (16%).
