It's on Netflix and it's a hit as the most watched: it combines thriller with comedy and only lasts 90 minutes.

One of the movies that has recently climbed the Top of the most viewed titles on Netflix has been No negociable, a Mexican comedy that combines the ingredients of an action thriller and also features a cast full of charisma. 

In the midst of this strange mixture, and placing a somewhat scandalous issue at the center of the plot, the movie follows Alan Bender (Mauricio Ochmann), a man considered the best hostage negotiator in all of Mexico. However, this talent ends up causing him to neglect his marriage. When the couple starts going to therapy, Alan discovers that his wife has been cheating on him. 

Shortly after, the protagonist is assigned an important job: to rescue the country's president from a kidnapping. However, this happens when his wife and her lover are also kidnapped, so Alan will have to struggle between saving the country or saving his relationship.

Directed by the Argentine Juan Taratuto based on the original idea developed by Alejandro De Grazia and the screenplay written by Julieta Steinberg, Joe Rendón, Daniel Cúparo and Marcelo Birmajer, the movie stars Mauricio Ochmann, Tato Alexander, Enoc Leaño, Gonzalo Vega Jr., Leonardo Ortizgris, Claudette Maillé and Cristina Michaus.

Since its mid-July release, this second Mexican feature film has become the latest trend among Netflix viewers, receiving a 71% rating on sites like Rotten Tomatoes, also positioning it among the most viewed in the global catalog.

Directed by Stelana Kliris, it tells the story of John Allman (Harry Connick Jr.), a musician who flees from New York and ends up landing in Greece. There, he decides to settle in an area with cliffs on the island of Crete, placing a certain hope in this idyllic landscape as the ideal place to retire.

John wants to be alone to live in peace and quiet, but his plans go awry when he discovers that his real estate acquisition is in a place with a rather murky reputation. However, he does not know that he will find one more reason to stay when he meets Melina (Ali Fumiko Whitney), a young woman who will change his life forever. After developing an emotional bond with her, John discovers that her mother, Sia (Agni Scott), is someone he already knew.
