Red Notice

As mindless entertainment built on silly jokes, a thin plot, visual effects and window dressing, Red Notice is a 117-minute distraction, easily forgotten in half that time.

I watched this 117-minute movie on a rainy afternoon and it was just about perfect for the time and place. The final scene suggests a sequel. I hope it happens.

There's turn off your brain and enjoy movies, and then there's this.

If the director and actors don't seem engaged in trying to make a movie that does anything but hit a bunch of buddy comedy marks, there's no reason for an audience to bother.

Red Notice is limp and dull, and does more to showcase the shortcomings of each of its marquee idols than it does to highlight their bankable charisma.

The problem is that this movie is built on nothing but making references to [its influences].

Netflix’s biggest investment ever in a film absolutely pays off.

The worst thing that can be written about Red Notice is that it is just fine when viewed from a laptop and a bigger screen would have added nothing to it.

The biggest surprise of 2021 for me… none of the trailers really grabbed my attention but damn does the movie work. With its charm, great humor, & excellent chase sequences that add some amazing adrenaline ! Give me more of The Rock, Gal, & Ryan!!

If you want some substance to your fun that calls to memory Spielberg’s Indiana Jones films or even the weaker, but still engaging, National Treasure movies, then this isn’t your movie.
