The movie "Suicide Squad" has a Critics' Score of 66% and an Audience Score of 47% on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite these ratings, Netflix has a history of successfully promoting films with lower critical acclaim, which may explain why "Suicide Squad" is currently performing well. This is evident in their previous successes with "Gray Man" and "Red Notice."
Netflix describes Lucy as: "A young American in Taiwan becomes an unwitting drug mule, causing high-tech narcotics to be released into her system and activate superhuman powers."
Meanwhile, the animated animal flick Leo continues to hold a top spot on the chart, alongside action movies like The Meg and Suicide Squad. The new Todd Haynes camp-drama film, May December, is also gaining popularity.

As a hard fan of Scarlett Johansson, I am thrilled to see that her forgotten gem, "Lucy," is finally getting the recognition it deserves on Netflix. This mind-bending sci-fi thriller, which initially flew under the radar upon its release in 2014, has captivated audiences with its mesmerizing narrative and Johansson's captivating performance.
Johansson's portrayal of Lucy, a young woman who gains superhuman abilities after being exposed to a powerful chemical, is nothing short of extraordinary. She effortlessly brings depth and nuance to the character, as Lucy grapples with her newfound powers and the moral implications of using them. The film's exploration of the human condition, the limits of our minds, and the potential dangers of technology are thought-provoking and highly relevant in today's world.
