Tom Hardy’s Havoc is no longer ruling Netflix’s charts — and it wasn’t a Hollywood blockbuster that knocked it down. Instead, a 44%-on-Rotten-Tomatoes German-language action film has surged to the top. Meet Exterritorial, the sleeper hit that’s just outpaced Hardy’s long-awaited thriller, now bumped to second place.
As Collider reveals, the movie, directed by Christian Zübert, stars Jeanne Goursaud as Sara, a former Special Forces soldier whose new beginning spirals into chaos when her young son vanishes inside the U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt. What begins as a simple visa appointment quickly unravels into a tense manhunt behind diplomatic walls.
With every corridor hiding a secret and every officer a possible threat, Sara relies on raw instinct and elite training to uncover the truth — and survive. Her journey turns into a high-stakes solo mission, navigating a maze of red tape, lies, and locked doors while the clock ticks mercilessly.
Despite lukewarm critic reception, Exterritorial is now #1 in 74 countries. Adding to the buzz, fans have praised Goursaud’s fierce, grounded performance, comparing her to a European Sarah Connor with a sharper edge. It may not have the critics on its side, but clearly, global audiences are gripped — and rooting for the mother who won’t take no for an answer.
