In a weekend crowded with box office blockbusters and the NBA Finals, one Spanish-language thriller quietly became a standout on Netflix's global top 10 list. The Marked Woman, directed by Gabe Ibáñez and starring Ana Rujas, has been described as a cross between Jason Bourne and Memento—and it's already the second most-watched movie on the streaming platform worldwide, according to FlixPatrol.
The film follows a woman who awakens in a shipping container with no memory of her past. But like the iconic amnesiac assassin, she possesses unexplained combat skills and is pursued by enemies she doesn't recognize. Teaming up with two detectives, she embarks on a fragmented, memory-driven quest to uncover the truth about her identity—a premise that echoes Christopher Nolan's Memento while delivering the adrenaline of a Bourne thriller.
While Office Romance, starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein, took the top spot this week, and last week's number one Ladies First held strong, The Marked Woman carved out a surprising niche. It currently lacks an official Rotten Tomatoes score, and early reviews are mixed, but its international appeal is undeniable. The movie's success continues Netflix's strong track record with Spanish-language originals, such as Society of the Snow (third all-time with nearly 100 million views) and The Platform (now seventh).
For fans of twisty, action-packed thrillers, The Marked Woman is a must-watch. If you're looking for more streaming recommendations, check out our Top 3 Netflix Movies to Stream This Week: June 8-12.

Netflix's investment in international content continues to pay off. The Indian Hindi-language film Maa Behen also cracked the global top 10, while the Mexican action-thriller Counterattack sits at number eight on the all-time non-English chart. The Marked Woman shares a similar premise to Netflix's sixth most-watched non-English movie, Nowhere, another Spanish-language survival thriller.
Whether you're a fan of amnesia-driven plots or high-octane action, The Marked Woman delivers a fresh take on familiar tropes. Stream it now on Netflix, and stay tuned for more updates on the biggest streaming hits.
