Ryan Reynolds has always been a dynamo on-screen, but in 2024, he took it up a notch by mastering the art of unlearning and redefining himself, earning the legendary nickname Marvel Jesus with his Deadpool & Wolverine magic. Sure, there are still a few souls out there who have not fully caught onto his Hollywood dominance, but believe it or not, there was a time when his films were not the blockbuster titans they are today. Case in point- the sci-fi film, The Nines, starring Reynolds and Melissa McCarthy. 

For those looking to escape the superhero grind and dive into something a little more scientific, here is the scoop on the movie, including streaming options.

The Nines is a 2007 sci-fi psychological thriller written and directed by John August, featuring Ryan Reynolds and Melissa McCarthy. While Reynolds may have a close relationship with Netflix, this particular gem is not on the platform. But fans can still watch it on Amazon Prime Video or rent it on Google Play, Amazon, iTunes, Disney Plus, Apple TV+, Hulu, Vudu, and even Fandango at Home.

The Nines premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and raked in $63,165 at the US box office by October of that year. While Ryan Reynolds has starred in countless films and ventured far beyond the usual, this one stands out as a true masterpiece. It was shot using a mix of video and film, with everything finished in high definition. So, if viewers are looking for a break from the long box office lines of the biggest blockbuster R-rated hit, The Nines is sure to bring the chills.

If viewers are still in the dark about the movie’s storyline, here is everything to know before diving into the streaming marathon.

Unlike Ryan Reynolds’ typical projects, The Nines is divided into three chapters, each focused on a different character—all played by the Canadian actor—as they try to unravel the mystery of strange, sometimes intertwined events in their lives. Part One follows a troubled actor, Part Two centers on a TV writer, and Part Three spotlights a renowned video game designer.

Though it may be one of Reynolds’ lesser-known films, it has carved out a unique reputation. Clocking in at 1 hour and 40 minutes, The Nines has earned a 6.2/10 on IMDb, a 64% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 61% approval on the audience popcorn meter, making it a critically acclaimed yet intriguingly complex watch. For fans gearing up for a Ryan Reynolds binge, The Nines is a great way to kick off a thrilling marathon.
