The current number one Netflix movie has some fans saying they 'couldn't breathe when watching it', but others are pointing out one major flaw.

Many have come out with more or less the same criticism of the new thriller, despite it muscling its way to the top spot over the weekend and generating huge amounts of hype prior to its release.

Some Netflix subscribers say the movie contains one scene which 'the most anxious and longest 20 min I ever seen'.

But others are far from sold.

The film in question is called Don’t Move, a new Netflix thriller about a woman who has been injected with some sort of paralysis drug.

She only has 20 minutes before her body shuts down in full, as she finds herself alone in the forest being stalked by a killer.

She also has to contend with violent rapids in a river, ants crawling all over her paralysed face, and a lawnmower headed straight for her head.

Sounds like edge of your seat stuff... but according to many viewers, that's simply not the case.

The film has been generally well liked by critics, with a 75 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, but fans are not convinced.

The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes has sunk all the way to 42 percent, and on IMDb the film is sitting at a 5.9.

Check out the trailer below and let’s get into fans' main complaint:

One fan review on Rotten Tomatoes said; “The worst movie I’ve seen this year. Plots mostly unbelievable. Graphic where it doesn’t need to be. Poor writing all around. A true waste of time.”

Another said on X: “Don’t Move on Netflix seemed interesting from the trailer but it was very underwhelming”.

A third on IMDb said: “It starts off interesting but quickly becomes predictable and boring.

“I could guess how every turn of the story would go, and I want to be surprised watching a new movie.

“It's a slow burn, too slow. The ending is, well, predictable as well.”

It is not unanimous, however, with one fan putting on the Netflix Bangers Facebook group: “Omg Don't Move is a brilliant masterpiece movie. Don't miss out.”

Even on this positive thread though, the film couldn’t avoid similar criticism.

One fan commented saying: “I wouldn't say masterpiece. I couldn't finish it. Got bored.”

Don’t Move is streaming on Netflix now if you want to check it out for yourself.
