Netflix seems convinced that they’ve found their new key to success: Ryan Reynolds, a man well-liked by the broadest section of human civilisation. He’s funny. He’s Canadian. He’s conventionally attractive. It’s the full package. In Michael Bay’s noisy 6 Underground, the streamer had him play a vigilante who faked his own death. In Red Notice, he sprinted alongside Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot through some set pieces borrowed from Indiana Jones. Were these films good? No. Were they easily consumable? Yes. And that's all Netflix needs them to be.
