Netflix's most-watched original movie is a microcosm of the worst impulses of the streamer’s blockbuster cinema.
There’s not a lot to say about Red Notice. Like many films headlined by its three main actors, Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, it’s not so much a movie as it is an emulation of one. It flirts with the idea of jokes, and references the vast history of more accomplished cinema, but there’s no attempt to ever live up to that legacy of thrilling escapist filmmaking that inspired it.
Netflix Makes Blockbusters, Just Not Very Good Ones Starting with Bright in December 2017, Netflix has regularly dabbled in the world of $100+ million budgeted blockbusters. These productions are always star-studded affairs meant to evoke the atmosphere of traditional big-screen blockbusters of years past. Netflix, much like Disney, doesn’t launch movie stars, it merely rehashes familiar faces other artists have put in the work to make famous.
'Red Notice' Is Completely Uninspired The infamous subpar visual effects in Red Notice, particularly the use of a CGI bull for a big set piece, are emblematic of another flaw that permeates so much Netflix blockbuster cinema. Because these movies aren’t designed from the ground up to be appealing enough to inspire people to leave their homes and go to the theater, their visuals look especially lackluster.
