  "account": "Netflix released numerous new original movies in 2026, and Tom’s Guide has reviewed several of them. Here is a ranking of those films based on our final star rating, with the lowest rated first.\n\n1. Ladies First - 1.5/5: A comedy exploring societal sexism through the lens of a humorless, largely joyless film that wastes Rosamund Pike's talents.\n2. Thrash - 2/5: A survival thriller starring Charlize Theron, caught between shark pandemonium and occasional thrills, but ultimately not a must-watch.\n3. Office Romance - 2/5: A flavorless rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein, with a mismatched lead pairing and lackluster execution.\n4. People We Meet on Vacation - 2/5: A predictable rom-com about two contrasting friends navigating a vacation and whether their bond extends beyond friendship.\n5. War Machine - 2.5/5: An action movie following recruits facing an alien invasion during Ranger training, despite being formulaic and lacking full star potential.\n6. Apex - 3/5: Charlize Theron's perilous journey into the Australian wilderness becomes increasingly deadly after she becomes a hunter's target.",
