The Netflix miniseries “Adolescence” clinching 8 Emmys, or merely a widespread interest in its content. That’s exactly what’s unfolding with Sebastian Stan’s A24-produced crime drama from 2023. “Sharper,” boasting a notable ensemble cast, has now emerged as a top ten streaming sensation on Apple TV+ two years post-release — currently ranking fifth out of ten.
Featuring Julianne Moore, John Lithgow, Sebastian Stan, Justice Smith, and Briana Middleton, the film is a psychological thriller that tracks a con artist and some of their con-mentees through a neo-noir narrative as they endeavor to deceive a billionaire.
Given the narrative context, it’s easy to see why this film might be climbing the charts — particularly during an era when nearly everyone seeks to vie for wealth and authority in a high-stakes scenario. Additionally, “Sharper” holds a rating of 6.7/10 on IMDb, 68% on the Tomatometer, and 73% on the Popcornmeter from audiences. These are respectable scores that suggest it could offer a captivating way to spend its nearly two-hour duration.
