Adam Driver’s Sci-Fi Thriller Finds New Streaming Platform Nearly Two Years After $60 Million Box Office Disappointment

Adam Driver has had a career marked by extraordinary achievements alongside considerable setbacks. His contributions to blockbuster filmmaking are undeniable; each of his three major contributions to the Star Wars franchise grossed over $1 billion, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens nearing an astounding $2.1 billion. Conversely, Driver has also starred in films that performed poorly at the box office, such as the notorious Megalopolis directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which could only muster $13.8 million against a staggering $120 million budget.

The variation extends to the critical reception of his films as well. Driver has taken part in acclaimed indie successes, including Frances Ha and Inside Llewyn Davis, both of which achieved a “Certified Fresh”status on Rotten Tomatoes with scores exceeding 90%. His performances have also been recognized in critically lauded projects like Paterson and Marriage Story. However, not all of Driver’s ventures have been met with acclaim; films such as This Is Where I Leave You and The Dead Don’t Die have sparked mixed reactions from audiences and critics alike. Notably, one of Driver’s lesser-performing films is soon making its debut on a new streaming platform.

65 Is Coming to Hulu

And It Is Coming Soon

Driver’s film 65 is set to stream on Hulu in the near future. Directed by industry talents Bryan Woods and Scott Beck, this science fiction adventure features Driver as a pilot who assumes he has landed on a distant planet, only to discover that a far more primal scenario awaits him. Upon its initial release, 65 faced substantial criticism, holding a dismal 36% score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and a more favorable 64% from general audiences. The film also struggled at the box office, earning $60.7 million against an estimated $45 million budget.

Why You Should Watch 65 on Hulu

Driver Shines in the Lead Role

While 65 may not be celebrated as Driver’s finest work, it remains a thought-provoking film that showcases his strengths as a lead actor. The project exhibits similarities to other offerings from Heretic, focusing on a limited number of characters and highlighting the deeper challenges they face throughout their journey. As an example of what Woods and Beck can accomplish with substantial resources, 65 presents an intriguing narrative, albeit its execution might leave some viewers wanting more.
