Review of Red Notice (2021) by Banishmon — 15 Nov 2021

This can basically be summed up with words. The Rock is big muscular masculine tough man. Reynolds is funny guy with irony and sarcasm. Gal Gadot is sexy.

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.
