With the popularity of The Unforgivable, Bullock, 57, joins Ryan Reynolds in having two of her films ranked on Netflix’s collection of most popular films. Along with Red Notice, Reynolds, 45, also stars in 6 Underground, which pulled in 205,470,000 to rank at No. 6 on Netflix’s list.
The Unforgivable currently ranks just above Army of the Dead, which holds spot No. 10 at 186, 540,000 view hours in 28 days.
Bullock stars in The Unforgivable as Ruth Slater, a woman who has been released after decades in prison and attempts to return to the life she left behind when she was first imprisoned. The film also stars Viola Davis, Jon Bernthal and a resurgent Vincent D’Onofrio.
The Unforgivable star opened up about playing Ruth in a September interview with Entertainment Weekly, telling the outlet, “My character is someone who has been incarcerated for 20 years for a pretty heinous crime [and] gets out.”
Bullock added, “There are several people whose lives she affected by this crime she committed, and there’s a lot of hatred and anger and bitterness and sorrow associated with her release. She wants to find this one person, the only family she had when she went in, and you keep asking yourself, ‘Why can’t you let it go? This family member was traumatized by your actions — let it go! Stop harming these people all over again.’ ”
The Unforgivable is now streaming on Netflix.
