Sacrifice hits Netflix on October 16. Isn’t it nice when Netflix puts out a decent movie? Yes, the streaming juggernaut releases high quality efforts from auteurs like Scorsese and Del Toro, but then there’s the neverending parade of star-driven, empty calorie mediocrity; mostly paper thin comedy-action films with forgettable plots and vapid characters, whose only strengths come from the charisma of the actors playing them. At this point, Chris Evans is one of many likable actors who has made a few of these types of movies now, for multiple streamers, so it’s easy to assume Sacrifice will be another example. Yet lo and behold, this one actually feels like something with more commendable aspirations. Evans plays movie star Mike Tyler here, attending a climate charity event on a Greek island while attempting a comeback after a public meltdown a year earlier. However, the event is interrupted by a cult-like group of radicals, led by Joan (Anya Taylor-Joy), who take everyone hostage at gunpoint. And then… things actually go quite differently than you’d expect from a Netflix movie with this set-up and these stars.
