72 Hours

It wouldn't be a new week on Netflix without a high-profile original movie release, and that's exactly what we're getting to close out the week of July 20. Rather than a huge action movie or a tear-jerking romantic drama, the streamer's serving up a brand-new comedy starring Kevin Hart.

The actor and comedian stars in 72 Hours as Joe, an executive who looks to get a boost in his career by tagging along on a weekend-long bachelor party with a group of 20-somethings. But at 40, Joe quickly learns that he's struggling to keep up in more ways than one.

Along with Hart, the cast of 72 Hours also includes Marcello Hernández, Mason Gooding, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson, Teyana Taylor, and more familiar faces. Join the party and see how Joe fares with his new younger friends when the movie drops on Netflix on July 24.
