It's very rare for a movie to be released in two parts simultaneously, and even rarer for both parts to take over streaming charts. But the rarest seems to have happened. The Ryan Phillippe films are designed to be watched back-to-back, and both installments currently sit at #1 and #2 on Paramount+'s Top 10 Movie charts in the U.S.
According to FlixPatrol, both films were released 24 days ago. Dracula, We're The Millers, and Scary Movie follow shortly behind at #3, #4, and #5, respectively. The two-part action thriller duology follows Danny Beckett (Ryan Phillippe), a retired Army Special Forces operative, as he tries to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter, Alex (Amélie Hoeferle), during a road trip and camping excursion. Then the daughter gets abducted by a vengeful former community he fought once before, and Danny is launched into a relentless hunt.
The official titles are One Mile: Chapter One and One Mile: Chapter Two. Both films share the exact same core plot. Chapter One centers on Danny trying to reconnect with his daughter on a camping trip, and Alex's kidnapping launches him into a full-on Taken-style chase to rescue her. The second film begins after Alex is in university and Danny is waiting for her to return during the holidays. But she gets abducted by the same group again, and Danny heads into a final showdown with the cult led by Stanley Dixon (C. Thomas Howell).
Both 'One Mile' Films Have Received Poor Reviews
One Mile: Chapter One currently has a 5.7 rating on IMDb and the sophomore installment has a lower rating of 5.0 (at the time of writing). On Rotten Tomatoes, neither installment has received enough reviews for a Tomatometer yet, but Chapter One's audience score is 42% at the time of writing. Things, however, look tighter for Chapter Two. It currently has an audience score of only 12%. The reason for the mediocre-to-poor reception seems to be the same core plot in both films.
