Director Ryoo Seung-wan's action film “Humint” debuted atop Netflix's non-English movies chart, the streaming giant said on Wednesday.

The movie, which was released on the platform last Thursday, garnered 11 million views in the week ending on Sunday.

Short for human intelligence, “Humint” follows Manager Cho, a South Korean national intelligence officer played by actor Zo In-sung, who forms an unlikely cooperation with Park Gun, a North Korean intelligence officer portrayed by actor Park Jeong-min, to save his crucial informant Chae Sun-hwa, played by actor Shin Se-kyung.

Premiering in South Korea on Feb. 11, the film attracted 1.98 million moviegoers, far short of the estimated 4 million admissions needed to break even. The action film was overshadowed by the box-office sensation “The King's Warden,” which opened in local theaters a week earlier and has since drawn over 16 million.
