"Great everything - tight, focused, intense, visceral action movie."

Netflix users are flooding to social media to weigh in on a new 'stellar' action movie.

If you were part of the group of people who weren't left convinced by a film starring Denzel Washington which recently dropped on the streaming service, then fear not, because there's a '12/10' action movie which Netflix viewers are raving about.

Directed by Oliver Kienle, the German movie centres around a mixed martial arts fighter named Octavio.

The official Netflix synopsis reads: "Octavio (Emilio Sakraya) has just 60 minutes to make it to his daughter's birthday or he'll risk losing custody forever.

"When he skips an important fight to make this happen, a group of criminals set out to chase him down.

"Suddenly, it's a race against time – a chase through the city."

Alongside Sakraya - also known for Warrior Nun - the film stars the likes of Marie Mouroum (Black Panther) and Dennis Mojen (Isi & Ossi).

Despite the movie - which was released onto the streaming service earlier this month on 19 January - only having achieved a tomatometer score of 56 percent, it's bagged itself a solid audience score of 76 percent.

And people are flooding to social media to give their views.

Many viewers flooded to X - formerly known as Twitter - in praise of the recent release - titled 60 Minutes.

One user wrote: "'60 minutes' is a great movie to watch on netflix. A lot of violence and a lot of sadness. Very emotional. Great watch and I recommend. Next on my list is 'List.'"

"Had a lot of fun with 60 MINUTES on Netflix. A straightforward real-time brawler that keeps the fists (and other limbs) flying, with a surprisingly earnest emotional center to give the thing some real weight," another added.

A third commented: "60 Minutes on Netflix is GREAT. MMA fighter leaves a bout to attend his daughter's birthday. Gangsters follow. A**kickings ensue. Feels like the spiritual successor to Run Lola Run and weirdly sweet."

"Two recent action movies I really dug, both on Netflix. MAYHEM!, a Xavier Gens joint about an ex con trying to save his daughter from French/Thai mob, & 60 MINUTES, about an MMA fighter in Germany who has 60 minutes to make it to his daughter, and fights the whole city to do it," a fourth commented.

And a final resolved: "'60 minutes' (on netflix) is stellar. Great everything - tight, focused, intense, visceral action movie that's relatable, has all the tension, and will make you cry. The level of emotional involvement exceeded my expectations by far. 12/10 highly recommended."
