Ewan McGregor’s ‘Son of a Gun’ Hits Netflix as Tubi Listing Signals Imminent Exit

A new Netflix placement is fueling rediscovery after a brief free run on Tubi.

Overview

  • ComicBook.com reports the 2014 Australian crime thriller Son of a Gun is now streaming on Netflix.
  • Tubi still carries the title but flags it in the platform’s Leaving Soon carousel, which typically means a rotation off the service at month’s end.
  • Directed by Julius Avery, the film stars Ewan McGregor, Brenton Thwaites, Alicia Vikander, and Jacek Koman.
  • Coverage highlights the movie’s shift from prison survival to a tense mentor–protégé dynamic that evolves into a heist storyline without revealing major plot turns.
  • Despite a reported ~$12 million budget and roughly $660,000 gross, the film holds about 63% from critics and 62% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, with praise for its performances and gritty tone.
