[@MartijnPennings]

I don't know exactly how film distribution works, but I doubt that Netflix has a lot to do with the making of the movie. What I believe happened was that the Rawson Thurber (writer, director) was shopping his script around and Netflix just overbid every other company for the distribution of it, probably because of the big names. I'm not sure, but I think Netflix gives a lot of creators pretty much the freedom to do whatever they want. That can result in great content, but also... Red Notice.

For me it was the scene where Gal Gadot reveals to them that she owns the prison (or whatever it was,it’s been a while). I was genuinely confused as to why she had the guards bring The Rock along too. That made absolutely no sense to me at all. I was watching the movie with a friend who had seen it before and he could not give me an answer that made sense without spoiling the movie. So yeah. Bad twist. Fun reveal! But bad twist.

We have more junk food movies than actual substance movies and I'm not even talking about, "life changing" I'm talking about new ideas, the basics, etc. Something NEW something different in a way that really gives you some form of a small enjoyment. This is why I hate moe when it comes to anime; moe is shit in the long run because it's fun junk food but when it's the main characters it's a bog, it's a drag because it's nothing BUT junk food.

I watched it with my boyfriend and halfway through the movie we realized that it's a compilation of themes we've seen countless times before. It was so ridiculously and horribly predictable that I became bored and indifferent towards it. The only reason that I stayed relatively focused and entertained was because we made a drinking game out of it. Whenever one of us predicted that something would happen, and it obviously happened, we would take a shot. Best example: they struggled so much to get into the vault. Gal gadot is obviously gonna be waiting for them with some smug tease line. Wow, big surprise. Another example: after all of those adventures they finally made it to the nazi storage. The interpol is obviously gonna come in next moment, with no logical explanation of how they tracked them down. Etc, etc. We ended up wasted.

I've come to the realization that Ryan Reynolds just did Deadpool and due to its success, people are unwilling to admit it was a one-off. Gal Gadot is kinda getting there too. She was good in Wonder Woman but I've not seen her do anything else that's any good. Rock is now just an indestructible muscle guy in everything. It's kinda sad that the last time he actually tried to play on that was in Pain & Gain all the way back in 2013. He was muscular still but he wasn't just some immortal action hero.

Your comment about these actors just playing themselves in different scenarios is so perfect. It isn't necessarily bad they have such strong personalities/ fame, but it works better when the characters they portray fits the actual person/what they are known for like a glove. Take for example, Reynolds playing Deadpool. He fits the role and the movie so well because it fits the persona we have come to expect Reynolds. We get the right amount of emotion/sarcasm/humor from him and his character because they are so similar that they mesh together and are more believable. Hope this makes sense.

It woulda probs failed hard in the theaters. Movie stars are only seen as interesting in theatrical movies when they're playing big-IP characters.

Netflix is the perfect place to watch "real" movies that are marketed with attractive & likeable actors; there's nothing risky in sitting on the couch, pressing a few buttons, & zoning out, as opposed to putting on clothes, driving somewhere, walking, & paying cash monies in a theater on an original movie that might suck lol.

This movie also serves as a case study on how not to do a good plot twist. When a twist is done well, you think back to all the moments where it was subtly hinted at but you didn't notice at the time, or you feel happy how you knew this was going to happen because you did catch the hints. With Red Notice, though, all it made me do is see how it doesn't make any sense. For example, they show the scene where Gal Gadot steals the egg from the back of the truck again, but it plays out completely differently to how it was shown back when it happened in the movie. If, in the original scene, we hadn't seen The Rock looking for and not finding a hiding Bishop, this would work, but we have, so not only was there no setup at that point, there was a direct contradiction to the twist. Another example is the escape from the prison. Why would the guards be shooting at them if they're supposed to escape, especially with a missile, that they only avoid in a super risky way that the Bishops couldn't even have planned ahead because Ryan Reynolds' character came up with it? And so on and so forth. If a twist leaves you feeling like the movie didn't cleverly deceive you, but actually lied to you and made up random bullshit just so it can say "haha, plot wist!", it is not a good twist.

[@baliart908]

The problem with your argument is that Dwayne's character was doing his best to confuse and deceive Ryan's character.

I think that Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot have fallen into the "blockbuster" phases of their careers, namely where they take roles that "play it safe." Even Tom Cruise, Leo DiCaprio and Gary Oldman had this phase. Maybe, one day soon, The Rock, Deadpool and Wonder Woman will start taking chances on more serious films or something award-worthy, but there's nothing wrong with big paychecks. The vast majority of actors would do awful things for those paychecks. Might as well keep taking them while you can.

I liked the movie, but I realize full-well that this movie is because all 3 actors got to play to their strengths, and do nothing else. For what it's worth, the same question could be made to this video: how many people would watch it if it was made by a complete unknown, rather than Filmento?

@@jeremiahbell6129 Is right. Besides that logic could be applied to any movie I feel like. Would Forrest Gump be as good as it was without Tom Hanks? Would The Godfather be as great without Marlon Brando? Silence of the Lambs and Anthony Hopkins? I think the actors should elevate the script and bring it to life, regardless of whether the script is a good one or a bad one. It’s a sort of synergy. And for what it’s worth, I saw the trailer and knew exactly what kind of movie it was going to be: stupid, unrealistic, fun ran by these three stars and set my expectations to that. Because of that, I had a lot of fun with this movie. It’s a total ‘Amusement Park’ movie, but an amusement park I wouldn’t mind visiting again.

I have no problem with her doing that, but not when one of the characters can take a bull attack and come away unscathed. One movie that did this pretty well was Mad Max Fury Road.

Red Notice isn't bad... For 30 minutes after watching it. Now it's just there. I like the chemistry of the actors, and I like how it's so cliche and predictable that it uses tropes to be enjoyable, but that's about it Other than superficial enjoyment, this movie just.. exists. The moviest movie to ever movie, as one guy said it All that I remember in this movie is how glamorous the advertising is. Netflix physically went out of their way to steal a steel globe in the other side of the world

[@autolosss]

Ah yes the SM MOA globe, which wasn't actually moved from its original place (I think the video showing that was CGI as well?) from what I remember. Tbh Red Notice felt like an empty movie. You're in it purely for the Rock, Reynolds and Gadot's interactions and if that alone doesn't hook you in then definitely skip. I know it didn't do much for me even as a guilty pleasure - Free Guy oddly enough was a guilty pleasure though and felt a bit more funny with Comer for at least one time viewing (despite writer Zak Penn showing he's out of touch with actual gamers).

I haven't seen the movie, but it's totally possible to show a fake life/lie the character is supposedly trying to get to...just show a photo of something he is saying he desires...a cute kid, a pretty wife, a tropical island, a loyal labrador with his head on a slipper...then later, it can be revealed he stole the photo or it came with a frame or it's a stock photo or whatever. Or give a flashback/dream sequence as he describes this life he longs for...later reveal it was made up. Or even just show a scene that makes it *seem* like the character has a certain life but it was just coincidence and appeared that way to the audience but wasn't so.

[@MINIKRIGARN]

You're absolutely right! I've felt that movies have started to be about the actors and not about the plot almost as if we were still in the 80s and 90s for so long now. Not only that, they have also just replaced them like for example Arnold Schwarzenegger has been replaced by the rock and Jim Carrey by Ryan Reynolds. Although I do think that the for example Arnold and Jim's movies were better but I am not sure why, do you have any thoughts on why this could be that you'd be willing to share with me?
