5 underrated movies on Paramount+ that you need to add to your watchlist — including a $150 million blockbuster that didn't deserve to flop
It’s the latter category that really draws my attention as a dedicated movie buff, and recently I’ve been combing through the catalog for hidden gems.Fortunately, I didn’t need to look very hard, because Paramount+ is home to a host of great movies that I believe to be a little underrated. Whether that be because of their critical scores, because they struggled to break even at the box office, or just because they lack the name recognition of Paramount+’s most popular titles. This 2005 sci-fi action movie Starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson is a total guilty pleasure watch.
