The film is a lifeless pastiche of various blockbuster action-movie styles from the past four decades.
Full reviewDwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds lead this crime-comedy centred on a high-stakes art heist that brings together an FBI agent and two rival criminals. From the writer-director of Skyscraper and Dodgeball.
When an Interpol-issued Red Notice—the highest level warrant to hunt and capture the world’s most wanted—goes out, the FBI’s top profiler John Hartley (Johnson) is on the case. His global pursuit finds him smack dab in the middle of a daring heist where he’s forced to partner with the world’s greatest art thief Nolan Booth (Reynolds) in order to catch the world’s most wanted art thief, “The Bishop” (Gadot). The high-flying adventure that ensues takes the trio around the world, across the dance floor, trapped in a secluded prison, into the jungle and, worst of all for them, constantly into each other’s company.
