Review of Red Notice (2021) by Mrup20 — 12 Nov 2021
Entertaining satirical take on the action film category. It takes every other ridiculous trope and sequence from "quality" action films and adds more blatant hyperbole widely accepted elsewhere.
The entire premise and lack of character development is a facetious nod to the genre but with the added bonus of a layer of solid ad lib comedy. Definitely hits the make on its purpose of sheer entertainment.
The satire nods to scenes from Fast & The Furious, Hobbs & Shaw, 007 franchise, Indiana Jones, etc. All of the films are widely unbelievable but attempt to veil that with a deeper storyline. Red Notice pokes a bit of enjoyable fun at the more well developed plot lines of its genre counterparts.
Go into it with that mindset and it's pure fun.
