Leave your thoughts about Red Notice.
| Film ThreatKyle BainThe marriage of Johnson, Reynolds, and Gadot is beautiful, and they support one another incredibly well. |
| ConsequenceLiz Shannon MillerIf you don’t mind your action comedies laced with a bit of meta, Red Notice is a treat. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeA fun, fast-paced and frequently amusing divertissement. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyIt has a certain clomping, smart-alecky entertainment value, wedded to the meta appeal of watching three A-listers juggle all the twists with ease, before walking off into the sunset with silly money. Did Netflix never twig that the real heist was on them? |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattFor all the outsize fight scenes and casual profanity though, the whole thing is oddly bloodless. (Even a rampaging bull hardly leaves a bruise.) And so Red Notice goes: blithely skimming through its slapstick fantasy, and laying bejeweled eggs wherever it lands. |
| CNNBrian LowryThe net effect is mildly enjoyable, creating a throwback caper film that showcases its stars doing what they do best, or rather for which they're best known. |
| EmpireDan JolinExactly what you’d expect from a crime-caper action-comedy pairing Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds. Nothing more, nothing less. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyYou can’t argue with the muscular marquee value of headlining Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot in a slick, fast-paced action thriller laced with playful comedy, even if it’s an empty-calorie entertainment like Red Notice. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyThe leads deliver to order in this flimsy but playful frolic. A tankful of banter keeps the engine ticking nicely. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichWhile the movie sometimes hides behind its own derivativeness in lieu of daring to play things straight — the references fly fast and furious long before a punchline is made at Vin Diesel’s expense — “Red Notice” never loses sight of the visual shorthand that comes with bonafide stardom, nor the simple joy of seeing very famous people make total fools of themselves for a laugh. |
