Netflix fans have hailed a sci-fi movie directed by a BAFTA-winning actor as ’10/10′ and gushed over a footballer legend’s surprise cameo.
The Kitchen, which hit the streaming service earlier in the month, was directed by Daniel Kaluuya and featured a brief appearance from Ian Wright.
Rapper and Top Boy actor Kano also led the cast of the highly-praised thriller, which debuted at the British Film Institute in October.
Kano, 38, plays Izi who lives in a dystopian future with Benji (Jedaiah Bannerman) in London, where all social housing has been eliminated.
They friends fight to navigate the world as residents of the Kitchen, a community that refuses to abandon their home.
