Discover the ranking of the 5 most played movies on Netflix
As of today, the current ranking is headed by the films "Red Alert" and "No Mires Arriba". Movies starring Gal Gadot, Dwanye Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence respectively.
The success of both made history on the platform after far exceeding the limits in reproductions that were planned. However, they are not the only ones that shine for their content in the top below:
Red Alert (2021)
Red Alert or also known as Red Notice in the United States, is Rawson Marshall Thurber's masterpiece. The 46-year-old Californian director and actor found the formula for success with the development of the film.
It assembles an all-star cast led primarily by Gal Gadot, Dwanye Johnson, and Ryan Reynolds. It tells a story grounded in the suspense and action comedy genres with a typical Thurber twist in the scenes.
To date, it has totaled a whopping 346 million views and plays on Netflix. A figure that, with the passing of the minutes, continues to increase progressively.
Don't Look Up (No Look Up, 2021)
No Look Up is next at the top on the heels of first place. It is the latest production by Adam McKay, a 53-year-old renowned American director, screenwriter and comedian.
McKay expresses a satirical sci-fi plot that leaves a message for humanity. Two high-caliber astronomers played by DiCaprio and Lawrence discover the approach of a comet that will devastate the Earth.
Despite the veracity of the facts and their warnings to the community, the governments show total indifference. Critics have commented that it is a direct analogy for climate change and the little emphasis placed on it.
Don't Look Up, since then and in the midst of its controversy, it has drawn a good flow of visits. For this moment, more than 330 million reproductions are handled, very close to its predecessor: Red Alert.
Bird Box (Blind, 2018)
At the end of December and 2018, Sandra Bullock became a trend again for her participation in a recent film. It, by name Bird Box or A Ciegas in Spain, was on everyone's lips due to its particular history.
An account that was based on a post-apocalyptic time when scenes of terror and suspense abound. Bullock plays Malorie, a woman trying to escape a phenomenon on Earth that depleted the population through mass suicides.
The only way not to succumb to that strange force is not to maintain direct eye contact. Therefore, the protagonists advance "blindly" during the development of the events of the film. Thanks to this approach and originality, there are more than 285 million visits associated with the film.
Tyler Rake (2020)
It is the name provided to the film in Spain for Extraction. A dynamic, suspenseful and engaging action film starring Chris Hemsworth as the mercenary Tyler Rake.
The film is characterized by being written by Joe Russo who previously met Hemsworth at Marvel Studios. It tells the story of Rake, who is hired for a special job in Dhaka, the capital of flamboyant Bangladesh.
The mercenary with high military and survival qualities will have to rescue the son of a high ranking member of the local mafia. However, the mission will not go as planned by Rake. Given this, the film was able to collect more than 240 million visits and continues to add.
The Irishman (2019)
It is listed as Martin Scorsese's masterpiece in terms of the type of films he makes. It has a historical cast where it groups together masterful actors such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.
Scorsese tells a narrative based on the gangster "epic" genre. Plot that is centered on De Niro as Frank Sheeran, a trucker who progressively enters the world of the mafia. And not only that, but he becomes the most famous assassin in the world.
Scorsese's footprint is firmly embodied in both the script and the outcome of events. At the same time, it is a film with a background of 10 years of planning. All those additives plus the presence of the director and his magnificent cast earned him more than 215 million views on Netflix.
