Netflixadded the action-thriller movie Renegades on February 1, and it didnt waste time climbing the top 10.

At the time of writing, its sitting in the No.

2 spot, just behind the streamerslatest blockbuster flick Back in Action.

The problem is… critics and audiences werent exactly thrilled when it first hit theaters back in 2017.

In fact, Renegades holds some seriously rough reviews, with many calling it aggressively dumb and messy.

And thats not even mentioning its rocky road to release.

Filmed in 2015, Renegades faced multiple delays before finally making it to theaters two years later.

It also went through several name changes.

So, is it actually worth your time despite the reviews, or should you listen to the critics?

Here’s what you oughta know about Renegades.

What is Renegades about?

Its hidden beneath a town that was flooded during the war, and retrieving it wont be easy.

Complicating matters further is their no-nonsense commanding officer, Admiral Levin (J.K. Simmons).

What do the reviews say about Renegades?

Honestly, critics and audiences dont have anything nice to say about Renegades.

Combine that with itslackluster box office performance, and its clear this action thriller sank without a trace.

Worst of all, nobody really bothered to give the picture an angle.

It’s all straight, flat and dull.

Meanwhile,FilmWeeksTim Cogshell stated its a mishmash of a hundred movies you’ve seen before.

On the whole though, the general consensus seems to be that Renegades isnt worth watching.

There are much better choices on Netflix right now.
