Red Notice
SCORE: 57
I finally got around to watching Red Notice on Netflix. I knew very
little about this movie. I knew that Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, and
Dwayne Johnson were in the movie. Beyond that I did not recall what this
movie is all about. Please be aware that there will spoilers in this
review. There are three eggs that Cleopatra had in her possession. The
world knows where two of them are. The third one is unknown. A rich
Egyptian wants all three to give to his daughter at her wedding.
The issues families will have with Red Notice are violence, blood,
torture, bad language, lack of attire, enticement to lust, brief nudity
and more. There is also some humor within Red Notice. Ryan Reynolds does
a fantastic job in his role. I also am impressed with how Gal Gadot did.
The Rock was honestly average at best. It is funny to see Dwayne Johnson
the butt of a lot of jokes in Red Notice.
Gal Gadot is the Bishop and she frames Ryan Reynolds (Nolan Booth) as he
has stolen one of the eggs. She then frames the FBI BAU agent John
Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) to get that egg. She then gets the two of them
together in a Russian prison. They break out to try and steal the second
egg. But the Bishop is one step ahead of them and gets them caught so
she can steal the second egg. This is where things start to get
interesting.
Nolan Booth knows where the third egg is. He tricks the Bishop and
escapes with John Hartley to go and get the third egg. Which happens to
be deep in Argentina in a Nazi stockpile. We find out that John Hartley
is actually working with the Bishop. They get all three eggs and deliver
it to the Egyptian father. They also tip off Interpol and get their
client arrested. Nolan Booth gets his revenge by having all their money
seized and offers them a job. They agree and this is where Red Notice
ends.
There are some fun action moments within Red Notice. For me the biggest
problem with Red Notice is the lack of connection to reality. There are
little things that do not add up in Red Notice. The cars that are in the
Nazi stockpile somehow came in this tunnel that is halfway up a
waterfall. How did they get them there? How did so many characters
follow so many other characters without their knowledge? The escape from
the Russian prison was a bit too easy in my book. Red Notice fits in the
digital streaming disposable format quite well.
