Film zum Bügeln/Kochen für 200 Millionen USD. Und für Netflix immer noch ein Erfolg.

Eine schrecklich einfallslose und generische, nervig harmlose Routine mit einem Drehbuch wie für einen Spielfilm mit Tom und Jerry, die denkt, dass ihre Wendungen wie aus Die üblichen Verdächtigen sind. Mit den Worten von Reynolds: "What the fuck?!" Seine Sprüche sind die einzigen guten Momente des Films. Da war sogar Jungle Cruise einfallsreicher und bezaubernder als dieser Streifen.

Red Notice ist mit Sicherheit ein reiner Genrefilm. Netflix ist kein Risiko eingegangen und hat dem Trio von Actionfilm-Veteranen ein weiteres (gemeinsames) Projekt angeboten. Es folgt einem Grundmuster: Reynolds macht viel Lärm, Gadot ist sexy, Johnson setzt seine Muskeln ein. Ich glaube, es wird niemanden überraschen, wenn weitere Episoden produziert werden. Außerdem gibt es eine nette Paarung von Gadot und Kleopatra, eine weitere davon erschien in Tod auf dem Nil, und nächstes Jahr wird sie sie hoffentlich ohne Ausrede in einem großen Monumentalfilm spielen.

Red Notice hat mich nicht wegen der sympathischen Besetzung fasziniert, denn das Trio Gadot-Johnson-Reynolds hat sich in seinen Rollen bewährt. Von der Handlung her ist es im Grunde ein Aufguss älterer Filme, und abgesehen von einem kleinen Plot-Twist, der ab einem gewissen Punkt vorhersehbar war, hat der Film wenig Überraschendes zu bieten. Einige Szenen sehen zu künstlich aus - Filmemacher haben in letzter Zeit das Bedürfnis, unnötige künstliche Tiere in ihre Filme einzubauen - und man könnte lange über die Gesetze der Physik und ihre Verweigerung im Fall von Red Notice reden. Aber sei's drum - ein Film wie dieser sollte mit Vorsicht genossen werden. Der Film hätte leicht eine Viertelstunde kürzer sein können, aber er hat es trotzdem geschafft, mich zu fesseln und mich zeitweise sogar zu unterhalten (vor allem dank Reynolds).

Eine angenehme Action-Komödie mit einem sympathischen Trio im Mittelpunkt. Ich mag sie alle drei sehr, also konnte das nicht schlecht laufen. Gal Gadot zeigte uns wieder einmal ihren Charme, The Rock die psychologische Seite seiner Persönlichkeit :-) und Ryan Reynolds einen amüsanten kleinen Dieb. Viele visuell ansprechende Ziele, viel Action und scharfer Humor. Die Fortsetzung kommt bald, dazu noch in meiner Lieblingsstadt, das werde ich mir nicht entgehen lassen.

Netflix calculated how to make a hit: take a lot of money, put in famous faces, come up with an uncomplicated story, and cram something in there for everyone, ideally in a way that the result won't turn anyone off, regardless of age or whether they want action, adventure, humor, exotic locations, or basically anything. The result is Red Notice. Dwayne Johnson scowls and occasionally punches someone, Ryan Reynolds talks and pisses Johnson off, and Gal Gadot looks good while sadly confirming that her acting talent is more suited for photos or silent films. And overall? Overall, it doesn't offend, it doesn't surprise, it passes pleasantly in the first half and drags in the second, and when there's a problem somewhere, Netflix throws a few million dollars at it and routinist Rawson Marshall Thurbert pulls it all together into something that's about two hours long, with a beginning, middle and end, and everyone will watch it anyway because we're just curious about the actors, right? And then we all forget about it in an hour. I get what Netflix was going for and I respect that they did it, but I'm certainly not going to settle for this uninteresting routine and I'm not going to praise it. It's like it was all made by a machine that figured out what people probably want to see and served it up to them.

One of this year's most expensive Netflix movies is a decent genre one-off, but given the budget and the cast, I was expecting a bigger load of excitement. I was kind of hoping for something in the vein of 6 Underground, but the PG-13 rating alone kind of bugged me. It's a bit of a variation on Indiana Jones, James Bond and Ocean’s Eleven, but in neither can the film hold a candle to those franchises. As expected, Red Notice is an entertaining, expensive and nicely made film, with The Rock, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds doing their thing again, and a few of the jokes are good. Unfortunately, the action is a disappointment, there isn't a single memorable action scene and the finale is delivered in a more intimate than monumental way, which is a big downside. There is one unexpected twist that’s quite good, and the heist antics aren't bad, but that's not enough for me. The two hours are bearable, and Red Notice is certainly worth recommending, but it should and could have been more consistent and wilder. Story 3/5, Action 3/5, Humor 3/5, Violence 0/5, Fun 4/5 Music 4/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 2/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 3/5, Actors 4/5. 6/10.

A TV B-movie with A-movie actors, a promising theme, a weak screenplay and the oh-so-mediocre Rawson Marshall Thurber in the director’s chair. Red Notice could be great a modern take on Indy (they even have Swastikas) and the search for Cleopatra’s golden eggs, if it weren’t for lots of nonsense and ridiculous (even if unexpected) twists. The Rock, Gadot and Ryan Reynold all act how they always act and if this had had more inventive (better filmed) action and if it hadn’t been filmed in a studio, it could have been a wonderful guilty pleasure, but this way it is only just an entertaining snack. P.S.: Not even Jablonsky was trying...

A trouble-free film, which was surprising to me. Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds are an unexpectedly great comedy duo, and although neither of them almost ever leave their comfort zones, I didn't mind at all because they are convincingly amusing and not awkward. And Gal Gadot keeps up with them and is more than just a useless pretty face. Red Notice masks the simplicity of the plot with a variety of situations that all three find themselves in, as well as the fact that the film makes fun of itself. For example, when one scene starts to resemble something like Indiana Jones, you can be sure that in a while someone starts whistling the fanfare of John Williams, and the action scene that confirms the affection for Indy lurks around the corner. I liked that the script wasn’t forced, that it didn't need jokes at all costs, that it was imaginative, and although it quotes or recalls all sorts of stuff (the scaffolding scene belongs in Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.), it doesn't steal them, and it is, or tries to be as original as possible. I wanted to be this satisfied with Army of Thieves, for example.

What a weird movie. There wasn’t a hint of originality, a trio of not-quite-Shakespearean actors were cast in the lead roles, and the script and the way it was handled were quite unimpressive. Forty minutes into the movie, I was already bored, checking my watch every few minutes to see if it was going to be over soon. Gal Gadot may have a nice figure, but her acting is comparable to that of a Ukrainian clothes hanger, Ryan Reynolds' contribution was that he spent the entire movie rambling on and on (to a point when I started secretly hoping that his character would get killed off), and Dwayne Johnson is just The Rock. It was a very long two hours and I'm absolutely certain I won't watch it ever again.

The trailers didn’t entice me at all; I was quite worried about what this project would turn out to be. Unfortunately, my gloomy expectations were fully met! I really don’t understand how anyone can compare this to Indiana Jones in terms of quality. Director Rawson Marshall Thurber has only one similarly genre-oriented film under his belt (Skyscraper), and that one turned out quite poorly as well. The star names in Red Notice look great on paper, but in reality, the chemistry between The Rock and Reynolds just doesn’t work; for every good joke, there are three pretty terrible ones (who on earth wrote those dialogues?!). And Gal Gadot seemed at times like she was not enjoying herself (just look at her overacting). The action can be summed up as "digital chaos." Whether it’s the escape from the Russian prison or the moment with the bull (that was really glaring). The story is one big cliché (which wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t clear that the creators didn’t make much of an effort). It will have viewership; those names will attract the masses, but Red Notice didn’t convince me. 4/10

Reynolds is playing Reynolds as usual, The Rock is playing The Rock as usual, and Gadot isn’t acting at all (as usual). A fun and snappy, but pitifully unimaginative film (the budget paid for the central three actors, and there was clearly no money left for special effects, so it looks like a run-of-the-mill B-movie). In three days, I will have no memory of seeing the film. It will do as a way to pass a Saturday night. The lower your expectations, the more you'll enjoy it.
