BingeNext's take

If you’re into intense action thrillers with a war backdrop, Land of Bad is a solid pick that keeps you on edge for its entire 113-minute runtime. The story follows an Air Force drone pilot named Reaper who has just 48 hours to fix a Delta Force mission gone sideways, turning a rescue into a desperate fight for survival. What makes it gripping is how the team on the ground is completely cut off, relying on the drone’s eyes in the sky while facing enemy forces without weapons or direct communication. The cast, including Liam Hemsworth and Russell Crowe, adds a familiar face to the high-stakes drama. Watching this feels like being right in the middle of a chaotic battlefield, where every second counts and tension is nonstop. It’s a great choice if you like your thrillers fast-paced and grounded in military action without losing the human element.
