10 More Huge Movies That Were Instantly Forgotten

10. Red Notice

There's perhaps no other movie more emblematic of vapid, ephemeral streaming Content than Red Notice - Netflix's $200 million stab at a star-studded blockbuster, and one that almost immediately evaporated from memory following its November 2021 release.

Despite the inherent appeal of seeing Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, and Dwayne Johnson team up for a globe-trotting action-comedy, Red Notice is probably one of the most generically uninspired four-quadrant tentpole movies ever made.

Perhaps most surprising of all? Reynolds, Gadot, and Johnson's chemistry feels off throughout - a fact admittedly less shocking given the recent revelation that Reynolds and Johnson clashed on set over the latter's tardiness.

Even though it still ranks as the single most watched Netflix Original in the streamer's history by a massive margin, can any of the 230 million people who watched it recall a single damn thing about the story, action sequences, or even the names of the three lead characters?

It's so devoid of even basic substance that it almost feels like a parody of what people imagine the most soulless direct-to-streaming movies to be. 

Given its viewership success, Netflix is eager to get rolling on two sequels intended to be shot back-to-back, though due to the intense schedules of Reynolds and Johnson in particular, they haven't gained much traction yet. And is anyone lamenting the ongoing wait? Not a damn soul.
