Red Notice is the new action/comedy from director Rawson Marshall Thurber that hit Netflix last week. The movie stars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot in a worldwide adventure about art thieves. Despite the movie's poor critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences seem to be loving the new flick. Not only does Red Notice currently have a 92% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it also had Netflix's biggest opening day for any film. According to a new Instagram post from Johnson, the movie is also on its way to becoming the most-watched movie on Netflix. In a new video, Johnson and Thurber celebrated the fact that Red Notice has been watched by 150 million people.

Saw it, liked it.

Exactly what you’d expect from the trailers and the personalities involved.

Better than Bright, probably not as good as The Old Guard.

I was impressed to see the writer/director was the same as Easy A.

Ok, so how does that turn into dollars for Netflix?  Obviously 150 million new people didn't sign up for Netflix to watch this.  I'd imagine the vast majority of people who have watched this are already Netflix subscribers, so is this more about customer retention?

Finally saw this.

"I'm Ed Sheeran, bytch!"

Not a terrible movie. And actually goofy fun. The three work well together.

OK, so just finished this. Can see what the budget was and how it was spent but had too much suspension of belief (this is total BS) for my taste. Reynolds was channeling his inner Deadpool. Rock and Gal are nice to look at but didn't add anything to the story. Lots of shooting and not one hit. And the long con ending. Yep, not a surprise. Don't think this one would have done too well at the box office but suited for Netflix or streaming.

This was entertaining, and I generally enjoyed it as breezy fun.  The big problem, though, was that, for a movie that wants to be all about the twists, literally every "twist" in this film could be seen coming from about a mile away, and there were exactly zero actual surprises. 

Which is sort of a problem. This movie is nowhere near as clever as it aspires to be, but, as I said, I still did enjoy it.
