We love it when international thrillers take the charts by storm. So, we are excited to see this gripping Swedish drama become the #1 genre entry on the Netflix Global Chart. A Day And A Half (original title: En dag och en halv) is the movie people seem to be obsessed with at the moment.

Netflix Synopsis

“To reunite with his daughter, Artan (Alexej Manvelov) takes his ex-wife Louise (Alma Pöysti) hostage and embarks on a thrilling and emotion-charged road trip with her and police officer Lukas (Fares Fares). The journey takes them through rural Sweden during a hot summer, all while having police on their heels.
