Hidden Strike is a buddy action film starring John Cena and Jackie Chan. In it, the two of them shoot, punch and fight their way through a group of mercenaries who have taken over an oil refinery.
As you might expect with the duo’s appearance, a lot of Hidden Strike is based on unique fight scenes with amazing choreography and the beating of a bunch of disposable bad guys. But if we’re being blunt, the plot in this one is cheesy and predictable. It almost feels as if the fight scenes were written first, and the plot was thrown in just to connect us from one thrown punch to the next.
But punches aren’t the only things flying, as many people are killed from gunshots, and others are deleted from existence by explosions. We likewise hear a couple of crass jokes and some swears soar through the screen, too. Those elements will certainly put the “crude” in the crude oil.
We didn’t expect much from Hidden Strike. We chose to cover it simply because, at the time of posting, it was the number one hit for Netflix movies. And you know what?
We were right. Save from some fun fight choreography, Hidden Strike just doesn’t punch above its weight.
