I'd give it a 5. Agree with the comment, although we both fell asleep for some of it Entertaining enough... just. I don't really expect much from Netflix's feature films nowadays, they're really just turning into the sausage factory of studios.Red Notice 6.5/10
Was entertaining and kept me amused for a couple of hours

Agree entirely with the above two comments, apart from the Gal Godot perving She's nice but I'm not that bothered.
It's quite frightening how much money Netflix can spend on some of the most generic and mediocre films ever. Not just this one, but almost everything they produce.

I've never really got the love for Netflix. I've been a subscriber for a time.
The best thing I ever saw on it was Rick and Morty, which was genuinely brilliant. But that's not a Netflix own show anyhow, that's Adult Swim (as everybody knows).
The stuff that was Netflix-branded was generally as you say, very mediocre, filling up a space in the line-up where they needed "generic xxx genre content." Made to order, rather than made with passion. I got that vibe a lot from their own stuff. "We need a thing, who can we get to make us a thing, so we've got more thing in our library." It doesn't have to be all that great, they just need more of it to keep their subscribers.
I guess that's the nature of their business.
Their business model is unsustainable. They've borrowed billions of dollars to produce and license content. Now they've decided they've borrowed enough and will now attempt to pay the debt back while still increasing subscriber numbers. I can't see them being able to do that, when Disney, Amazon and other film studios have now launched their own streaming platforms and have far more money to attract subscribers away from Netflix.
I think they have circa 200 million subs and around $16billion debt, it's not inconceivable they could pay this off if they ease off on making new content - it is just the mcdonalds of content though, occasionally something great but mostly run of the mill tosh.
Disney are aiming for 240 - 260 million subs by end of 2024 - https://www.darkhorizons.com/disney-has-slowest-growth-quarter/
EDIT: Seems Disney has over $40b of debt and will continue to spend over around $10b a year on content. - https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/med...t-disney-nysedis-has-a-meaningful-debt-burden
Disney has a lot of established and very popular properties that will attract new subscribers plus their own, as well a Fox's back catalogue.
We shall see.
I think Universal were interested, but at one point decided to pass. You have to remember not-only does Netflix release some of it's own-produced titles, but it also buys the ones passed on by the main studios for theatrical release.

Same director as RAW? That was stunning. Is it only in cinemas currently?Titane - 6/10 - a weird semi gender bending body horror.
