Netflix to Remove Taylor Kitsch's Oliver Stone Crime Thriller

Taylor Kitsch was given perhaps the biggest platform a young actor could ask for in Hollywood, with three major movies releasing in the span of a single year. However, such a high-profile launch can be a double-edged sword. When none of the three movies did well at the box office, Kitsch found himself having to rebuild from the ground up. The comeback took several years, and he's now landing lead roles in major projects again. In the last couple of years, he has headlined the Netflix Western limited series American Primeval and the Prime Video action spin-off The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. Fans of his work have an opportunity to check out one of his first major movies, which is streaming on Netflix for the remainder of September.

The film was released in 2012, along with the epic sci-fi tentpoles John Carter and Battleship. Unlike those films, which cost a combined total of more than $500 million and tanked at the box office, Kitsch's other 2012 release was a mid-budget crime-thriller. It was directed by A-list filmmaker Oliver Stone, and featured a stacked cast that included Blake Lively, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, John Travolta, Salma Hayek, Benicio del Toro, and Demián Bichir. The movie follows two small-time marijuana growers who get caught in a battle with a Mexican cartel.
