Hunter Killer, the 2018 submarine-based action-thrillerstarringGerard Butler, is dive-dive-diving to a new streaming home. Starting December 1, fans can watch the film for free onTubi, which is great news for those disappointed by the news thatthe movie was leaving Netflix at the end of November. InHunter Killer, Butler plays Captain Joe Glass, a no-nonsense submarine commander tasked with stopping World War III after uncovering a coup within the Russian government.
The film attempts to blend geopolitical intrigue with explosive underwater action, and it’s certainly full ofpressurizedsituations. Because it’s set in a submarine. Get it? Although the movie swam in with a lot of ambition and an intriguing cast, includingGary Oldman, Common, andMichael Nyqvistin one of his final roles, the movie was submerged in “meh” from critics,earning a 38% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
