Vanessa Kirby's tense Netflix thriller has debuted on the top spot of the streamer's trending chart.
Titled Night Always Comes, the film from director Benjamin Caron and screenwriter Sarah Conradt adapts the novel The Night Always Comes by Willy Vlautin.
Kirby (who also produces) stars as Lynette, a woman who has to come to terms with her dark past in a desperate attempt to raise $25,000 to keep a roof over her head.
The movie is currently the most watched film on the platform followed closely by Korean sensation KPop Demon Hunters, which is still streaming strong months after its 20 June release.
Night Always Comes is still the number one Netflix film in Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Hungary, Italy, Kenya, Portugal and Turkey, to name a few.

Alongside Kirby, the film stars Jennifer Jason Leigh as Lynette's mother Doreen, Zack Gottsagen as Lynette's older brother Kenny, Stephen James as Cody, Randall Park as Scott and Julia Fox as Gloria.
Michael Kelly and Eli Roth also star in supporting roles as Tommy and Blake.
Night Always Comes isn't faring too well on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes though, where it has a mediocre rating of a 50%. However, critics have been praising Kirby's performance.

"Even when supercharged by Kirby's unwavering star power, this distractingly muddled stab at social commentary baked into a hardboiled thriller lacks the momentum to make it to the morning," Empire's review reads.
We at Digital Spy said the film is "unpredictable and relatable", with its powerful central performance being the number one reason to give it a chance.
We also called Kirby's turn as Lynette "devastatingly good", and one that could've been turned into a caricature in lesser hands.
Night Always Comes is streaming on Netflix worldwide.
