Red Notice (2021)
6/10
Snappy-Paced Cheeky-Banter Escapism Theme Park Ride
12 November 2021
Like a movie studio theme park ride, the sets and props are exactly as one would have imagined, as is the non-stop witty repertoire one would expect from the three stars [Reynolds, Johnson and Gadot].

Borrowing heavily from Indiana Jones, National Treasure, and Jackie Chan films, this heist action film injects each star's individual movie trademark style throughout.

Set design and photography quality are very good, however the story itself barely gets a passing D grade, and therefore the suspense element that one expects from an interesting heist/action film is completely missing.

There is nothing new here, so Red Notice leans completely on the magnetic personalties of the three leads to keep your interest, and they indeed deliver the fun banter for which each star is known.

Red Notice receives a "instant_palmer" overall barely passing C- grade and I can only recommend to view if you are ok with a film that rates well BELOW 'National Treasure', leaning on a marginal-at-best screenplay.
