for but more importantly once you've seen it what do you think about it let's talk about our three
main actors did you enjoy them did you think they had the chemistry did you enjoy the action the
comedy do you want to see more from this franchise but let's talk about the other side of the coin
were you disappointed did you not have a good time do you not want to see more from them
let's talk about it in the comments below so for me personally going into red notice
yes i was excited to see the rock ryan reynolds gal gadot in one action comedy heist film because
i'm a fan of all three of them i like action i like comedy so what did i think about it starting
off with my positives first and foremost i have to say just a little asterisk i personally didn't
go into red notes expecting the best well woven put together script i knew that all three of our
actors were plot proof that nothing probably was going to happen to these movie stars in regards
to the narrative of the story and stakes of the film i wanted to go into this to see the rock ryan
reynolds and gal gadot wonder woman deadpool black adam how are they going to have a good time will
i be enjoying with them will i have a good laugh starting off my positives let's talk about those
three leads starting off with ryan reynolds and dwayne the rock johnson who they've actually been
in a movie together before not as the leads of the film and particularly ryan reynolds
with his kind of i guess spoiler alert for a film that came out three years ago and hobbes and shaw
and we'll probably see him in the sequel you saw the chemistry the back and forth the straight man
being the rock the more goofy man being right windows some of that flavor makes his way into
this film for almost two hours and i gotta say it's the actors man they have the charm
they have the charisma i know some people are tired of the rock doing the same thing
same with ryan reynolds but i look at them very similar to how i look up to a favor two of two of
my favorite actors growing up in you know watching them films in the 80s and growing up in the 90s
arnold schwarzenegger sylvester stallone and i mean i can go on and on about some comic comedians
adam sandler jim carrey there's a lot of actors that do the same thing they obviously
have different names in the movies and there's different you know directors and whatnot but you
like the actors and i like the actors in this film and i thought they had really good chemistry again
the rock is kind of he did this earlier this year with uh jungle cruz where he isn't necessarily the
quote-unquote hero that we know him to be he can't beat up everyone he's not looking for a fight and
entirely in jungle cruise and the same could be said in his character as john as a fbi agent who
really isn't like an fbi agent that wants to use his hands he wants to use his brains to catch
these thieves one being ryan reynolds who was in this film so i kind of like when the rock kind
of plays against the stereotype that he can beat up everyone that he has to use his fists to get
things done so i kind of like what he gives us in this film like i said similar to jungle cruise and
ryan reynolds he's he's doing his thing man but i am not at the point yet that i am like completely
tired of the right rental skit it's like yes we've seen it in every single film but i like him man
i have a good time with ryan reynolds and ryan reynolds in his film as he plays nolan booth who
is the second best thief in the world and we'll talk about gal gadot who's number one but i enjoy
just their back and forth ryan reynolds always puts a smile on my face not every joke lands but
i find myself just rooting for his character even when he's like i guess quote unquote the bad guy
in this film at a certain extent or the guy that's stealing things and i don't know i i just really
had a a a fine good time with these two going back and forth but that does bring me to gal gadot who
you know wonder woman love her on that road i've liked her and some other things i've seen her in
she's fine in this movie out of the three main leagues she doesn't she didn't really like wow me
as the other two did and we'll get to gal a little bit later but for the most part i have to say i'm
one of those people that i can see when actors are having a good time riffing off each other going
back and forth enjoying each other's company and you can see that from these three main characters
and that brings it to the director of this film who is ralston marshall thurber who's actually
worked with the rock for half of his filmography he has he's a certain director that doesn't take
a ton of risk but i have fun with his films and i thought that he did a good job of kind of
wrangling in these three big egos these three big mega stars and kind of doing the things that we've
seen in past films whether it be skyscraper or central intelligence and some of that humor that
we get from dodgeball so i like him as a director i thought he did a good job there in regards to
some of the action beats the comedy beats it's stereotypical again netflix throws money at these
films i believe it had a 200 million dollar budget with 60 uh 60 million went to the actors alone but
i thought for the most part the action was done in a pretty comparable matter i was not like blown
away by the action but at the same time oh that was pretty impressive same goes for the comedy
beats mostly coming from ryan reynolds so for the most part does this film break new mo no but
i had a good time with these actors which kind of brings me into some of my criticism with the movie
it's not breaking new ground which is nothing i was expecting but at the same time i knew i
had to kind of suspend my disbelief but there were many times in this film where i'm just looking at
myself like really really the rock's getting hit by a bull and we're just gonna be okay with that
you're telling me this guy is shooting at them and no one dies sometimes you kind of have to roll
your eyes which brings me to some of the points of the film this film comes in right around under
two hours and there were multiple times i found myself on my phone i found myself kind of checking
out because narratively speaking this film isn't the most engaging it does i do respect some of
the homages to some of the films indiana jones uh you know national treasures some other films heist
films ocean's eleven they have they you know tilt its hat to those films and don't really reinvent
the will in those narratives and also to mention we have three of these big actors one being gal
gadot is wonder woman there is a moment where she has kind of a wonder woman moment which i found
to be funny ryan reynolds has this little mask on that kind of remind me of his time as green
lantern so there are moments where the film is very self-aware of what it's doing very self-aware
that the audience has to kind of put this brain aside and just kind of enjoy this kind of nonsense
but it was just a lot of those moments that again just was like can we can we get a little bit more
innovative can we get a little bit more smart in the narrative here so there are a lot of those
moments in the film and i mentioned a little bit earlier how i i enjoy it ryan reynolds i enjoyed
the rock and i enjoyed gal but her as the kind of pseudo villain the bishop the person behind it all
i think gal just to me hasn't like fully arranged herself as an actress again i am completely sold
as her as diana prince as wonder woman and i've seen her in the fast and furious movie she plays
that role well but when she kind of switches it up a little bit i don't think she's had enough time
to kind of really stretch her range of the actress so there are moments where i'm just like yeah
you could have hit that moment a little bit differently and that the film is making her to
be like this menacing villain but i just wish that she could have hit some of those beats a
little bit more and gave it a little bit more believability for me personally and then the
last thing that kind of comes with the criticism again brain shut off but when you get to the third
act there's twists and turns and it's a ridiculous third act and there's this big reveal that i i'm
not gonna lie i didn't see it coming but i found it to be a little bit cheesy and the way that the
film kind of presents this and they kind of open this door for a second film which i'm not going
to get into the spoilers here but hey those are my positives those are my negatives before i give
you all my overall thoughts in this film and let you know if it's worth checking on netflix if you
haven't already make sure to like the video share the video subscribe to the channel hit that bell
that way you don't miss any of my future reviews overall red notice is yes it's a nonsensical
throwaway action big netflix film that we've come to respect since they've been making these movies
but i have to say this film is heavily reliant on three of its main stars and for the most
part i was i was having a good time with them again i might be biased because i'm a fan of
them as actors but i did i do think that they did bring something to the role that kept me invested
kept me engaged there were some funny moments there were some cool action moments there were
some silly moments there were some script issues there was a third act that was just a little bit
too ridiculous for my taste but at the end of the day i was entertained and that's what i wanted to
get from this film so with that being said was it perfect no was it terrible no i'm gonna give
this film red notice a three out of five i don't necessarily think it's something that i believe it
had a theatrical run on november 5th i don't think it's like you have to see it and in theaters to
enjoy it when it comes to ammo on netflix this friday give it a watch and when you do let me
know what you thought of it your pros your cons your positives your negatives do you want to see
