“The Division” movie adaptation is coming to Netflix

Tom Clancy’s The Division, despite not being the success story we all hoped it would be a launch, has a quite compelling story if you think about it. Remember when we used to go on and on about how its plot resembled an action movie? Well, that’s what we’re getting. And our expectations sure are high once again.

Starring Jessica Chastain (Molly’s Game) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain), The Division takes place in a crisis-struck New York City, not so disconnected from how NYC is today.

The movie will be available exclusively on Netflix, following the latest trend in the cinema world, with movies skipping theatrical releases entirely, in favor of streaming services, due to the pandemic.
