Ben Affleck nearly pulled the plug on his Netflix thriller *Animals* just two weeks before filming. After discovering Spike Lee’s *Highest 2 Lowest* shared a near-identical kidnapping plot and twist, Affleck panicked. Despite the initial cancellation, he eventually returned to the project. While critics remain divided on this gritty LA crime drama, it’s still a solid weekend watch for thriller fans.
