Dakota Johnson's debut in the Sony Marvel universe was more of a whimper than a bang in the box office, it's true, but that doesn't mean Madame Webb won't interest film fans when it lands on streaming.

The movie follows Johnson's Cassandra Webb, a paramedic who works in Manhattan who begins to be targeted by a mysterious villain. During her escape from him she encounters a group of young women and the quartet form a bond that will change their lives forever.
