Well this was the most Hollywoodist of Hollywood movies I've been subjected to for quite some time. Not that I'm surprised really, I mean look at the cast, literally the most generic Hollywood A-list casting you could sloppily throw togetherWell this was the most Hollywoodist of Hollywood movies I've been subjected to for quite some time. Not that I'm surprised really, I mean look at the cast, literally the most generic Hollywood A-list casting you could sloppily throw together without trying. Yeah these big names should easily bring us in some dough, story? Plot? Who cares, anything will do.

So what we have here is yet another James Bond-esque, Mission: Impossible-esque action comedy (even with some blatant Indy clonage) with all the usual trimmings. Just take a look at this thing. We skip from one exotic location to another like a videogame. An artic fortress, a dense jungle, sunny Spain, tropical islands, a temple, an underground mine etc...All the while our three main characters, Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds look super glossy and sexy. The entire movie is literally one super slick highly choreographed action sequence after another with terrible CGI effects and blatantly obvious greenscreen shots.

What's more, the action sequences are so mind-numbingly stupid and again so generic it's boring. Gal Gadot's character is obviously the best at everything because of course. Johnson is Johnson like he is in absolutely everything. Whilst Reynolds merely does his mind-mannered soft comedy routine which is admittedly amusing at times but not original. Nothing here is original, we've seen all this before time and time again. The whole thing plays out and looks like a videogame for of pretty people with nice bods. And the entire double-cross surprise angle which occurs numerous times is not clever despite how much the writers and director think it is.

So yeah, cookie-cutter, run-of-the-mill, factory production line, wash rinse repeat etc...All these terms cover this overly unexciting mundane star-studded makeup-heavy bonanza. It's virtually 'True Lies' for 2021 except it rips off a multitude of other movies and franchises and has absolutely no edge to it, no kills, no blood, nothing. Painfully soft safe glossy fluff.… Expand

Of course Netflix saw the opportunity, and maybe it will pay off in the long run, but Red Notice is a waste of talent and entertainment.

Its predictability is offensive, and the whole ordeal is basically a script that tries to pull different elements from other action films in an attempt to keep the story afloat despite the fact that none of the main characters have anything interesting to say, let alone anything interesting to do.

Red Notice is a film in search of a good idea and a better execution. It never finds either.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a pretty cartoon where some very famous actors were asked to make some sounds with their mouths and the camerawork is awesome. If you don't mind only 90's cliches instead of plot and don't turn your brain on for even a moment, fun 90 minutes spent on Netflix. I made it as far as the flawlessly preserved Nazi car with full tires and unspoilt gasoline and everything. I even laughed once, at the Jurassic Park joke, but that was instantly ruined by a character getting T-boned by a raging bull and he just dusts it off, as if someone just threw an apple at him or something.… Expand

Whistling the tune of "Indiana Jones" (https://youtu.be/IgncJgSbbck) is not a tribute but an act of self-harm, self-sabotage, an own goal, since it induces comparison with the original and does not hold anything, like the first scene of the scaffolding skillfully dismantled piece by piece, but with that now usual excess of frenzy that prohibits you from identifying with some character and therefore sharing their events. Forgettable instantly, it differs from the Spielberghian quadrilogy also for the fact that it started from famous myths and legends, object of study and research, and it could stimulate a deepening of the Third Reich's interest in esotericism. Here, instead, we drag ourselves to watch the next idiocy of the Netflix catalog.… Expand

The film meanders along for the most part, and it's a struggle not to see that the film is pretty much the epitome of commercial cinema. It's hard to be either excited or enraged at it, because that would be a waste of time and effort.

For the most part the acting is good, although Reynold's shtick is starting to feel old, I suppose he's found his niche and he's sticking to it. I don't really feel much chemistry between the three main stars, which is a shame since the vast majority of the film is framed around the clashing personalities of Reynold's and Johnson's characters.

The film ambitiously sets up for a sequel which is par for the course these days. will it get it? Probably. Will it be worth watching? Maybe stick it on in the background while your doing some stuff around the house. If it's anything like this, it can only improve the viewing experience.… Expand

And oh btw the ending kinda makes the film look like a long interrogation scene. In that Nazi bunker when the Bishop teamed up with the guys i was like, oh so she's part of the team now? Then you see the kiss and just go wtf like Ryan Reynolds. It's not even a good twist. There was no build up or anything the movie just goes like, hey soo umm all the things you watched, they weren't real, yeah yeah we've been messing with you. It's like you watch stuff happen in one universe then from that point in Argentina you are now watching some other universe. It's like the tears in bioshock.

This is the epitome of generic action/heist movie. I am beyond tired of recycled garbage that has the depth of a kiddie pool. Every scene has some immersion breaking BS, CGI, or prop. All it has going for it is good actors. That is it.

But all that money could've gone towards a third season of 'Mindhunter', but we can't have nice things.

Ryan Reynolds plays a stock Ryan Reynolds type and churns out a literally non-stop deluge of flat jokes that writer-director Rawston Marshall Thurber clearly thought was hilariously clever, Dwayne Johnson seems to be going through the motions in a similarly stock role as himself, and Gal Gadot pops up throughout to deliver repeated "I somehow anticipated your every move (by reading ahead in the script)!" pantomime villain turns

The plot is pure nonsense, the whole thing is clearly written by someone with absolutely no understanding of anything to do with Interpol, law enforcement or basic common sense, and there's no sparkle of wit or particularly entertaining setpieces to elevate Red Notice to comparisons with the Mission: Impossible type capers that it so painfully tries to emulate

You've seen this film at least a dozen times before if you've watched literally any of the many C-list projects that Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds pay their bills with between real projects - you really don't need to waste your time with this one when there are so many better versions of this movie that already exist, and that weren't written by a five year old imagining how professional adults act

I honestly feel embarrassed for anyone who gave this dreck a positive score, because you deserve better and you don't even seem to have the capacity to understand why… Expand

There. I **** said it.

Other than that, they keep trying to shoehorn in a Reynolds-Rock buddy cop scenario. They work well off of each other, but the problem is how their relationship keeps flopping between "We like each other and I have your back in a fight." and **** you imma leave you behind." The writing is also just bland and forgettable, with none of the big set pieces or unique scenarios to make up for it. And to top it off, contrived writing. Am I supposed to believe that point blank shots at tied up people would conveniently miss them and hit the locks tying them down instead? As well as security guards for international agencies slipping and knocking themselves out? I can excuse **** like rockets flying through helicopters, because that's an insane action sequence and big set piece. But **** that manifests for the plot is unforgivable. Take away the three big names and you have basically nothing. You can't make funny guy and strong guy the only appeal of your movie… Expand

Ryan Reynolds... Is he gay and has a problem admitting it? Why does he always play the same metrosexual guy with always the same jokes and always the same homosexual gestures?
