Review of Red Notice (2021) by Irorieh — 11 Dec 2021

Not a bad, not a good film. 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.
