Netflix: Red Notice
Netflix spends $200 million on a movie. Gets A list stars and no thread?
Thought it was a fun popcorn movie. If I’d saw this pre-Covid in theatre's, it’d still be fun. Reynolds with wise cracking insults like he did in Deadpool. The Rock doing his Rock thing. Gadot looking sexy. |

I haven’t watched it yet. But I noticed that local theaters in my area were playing both this and ‘The Harder they Fall’ for the past couple of weeks. before they dropped on their site.
Funny how Netflix wants to be in the theatrical game now. |

It's a treasure hunt movie, all Indiana ones etc. - except with poor acting - every line delivered with a wink to the audience.
Still, kinda fun, and Gal is pretty. |

I never saw her as a to[ shelf hot babe. She wasn't bad but a hot leading lady in Hollywood movies, that's not her. But, in this movie she is hot as **** despite her boobage size,

RE: the movie, if you like Ryan Reynolds banter, you'll like it. If not, nope. |

I enjoyed the Ryan Reynolds "I am doing my monotone manic whisper as a I deliver my joke" thing when I was younger. He just doesn't do it for me anymore. I think he peaked with "Waiting".

I need to watch Waiting again. I hated it the first time. I’m open to being wrong here. But just because it peaked doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. |

So I rewatched it, and it was funnier than I remember. Worth the time if you want a shut your mind off LOL flick.

We watched this weekend, was enjoyable. Not really great or anything but decent filler with some good chuckle moments.

The critics were right. Just a soulless movie with really bad dialogue, and some of the laziest storytelling you could imagine. We're talking "my mother was an Egyptologist, that's why I know these things" kind of tier. There might be some kind of enjoyment to be had, you'll just have to find a way to turn your brain off to one notch above vegetative state. Careful not to go full Terri Schaivo!

There's nothing worse in a movie than these obvious exposition scenes when they're trying to fill in gaps in a plot. Any writer worth a single damn will know the old 'show, don't tell' axiom. This movie didn't do that at all. If they didn't have a way to explain why a character would do something or know something, they just gave you a 3-4 minute scene that grinds the movie to a halt where everyone sits there and chats in overly long, overly flowery prose. If Aaron Sorkin tried to make a heist movie after suffering a series of debilitating strokes and then falling on his head...from a significant height...multiple times - you'd have this movie. It was honestly one of the more offensively poorly written movies I think I've ever seen. |
