Black Doves on Netflix

Keira Knightley has done many things in her so-far illustrious career, but it’s fair to say she’s never necessarily been a full-on action heroine. While her roles in thePirates of the Caribbeanseries did involve some swordplay and maybe the odd musket, her new role for Netflix looks like it’s on a different level entirely.

She’s not the only big-name actor inBlack Doves, either. Ben Whishaw in on-hand with a surprisingly hairy look to play someone who seems a lot like an ex-colleague of hers, now chipping in to help her survive. Plus,Happy Valley’s unbelievably impressive Sarah Lancashire will be behind the scenes pulling strings.

Black Doves on Netflix

All of that serves to confirm that this is indeed Knightley as we haven’t seen her before, and it underlines the fact that this sort of action-thriller is really in vogue right now. ThinkJohn Wick,Nobody,Ballerinaand more – everyone’s queuing up to take their turn as a grizzled action lead.

Netflix will be hoping thatBlack Dovescan conjure up the same word-of-mouth success that theJohn Wickfranchise has enjoyed over the last half-decade, and Knightley will doubtless hope it can help people see a few more levels in her game. Even a hint of that level of reception would count as a win, one that could continue to see Netflix sit at the top of many people’s lists of thebest streaming services.
