About Red Notice
An Interpol alert known as a Red Notice triggers a globe hopping hunt for the world's most wanted criminal. The plan goes wrong when two rival thieves and a perceptive FBI profiler are forced to cross paths, each with their own agenda. John Hartley, a by the book American agent, teams up with Nolan Booth, a charismatic art thief who talks his way out of danger. Their unlikely partnership is short lived as Sarah Black, also known as The Bishop, keeps outwitting both men with daring pivots and stylish bravado. A high stakes caper unfolds across fast paced chases, glitzy locations and clever twists that keep the audience guessing who will outsmart whom. Hope stays alive as the chase continues.
Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, Red Notice arrived on Netflix in 2021. The film casts Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot in a glossy action comedy built around banter, quick set pieces and globe trotting escapades, with a soundtrack.
Box office data is not disclosed because the film was released primarily on Netflix; as a streaming release it did not chart traditional theatrical grosses or worldwide box office tallies. This is common for Netflix originals and outside standard numbers.
Critics gave Red Notice mixed reviews, praising the performances and brisk pacing while noting a familiar, sometimes thin plot. The film toys with trust and deception, turning a buddy dynamic into a fast entertaining ride rather than a deep drama.
Red Notice became a talking point for big budget streaming action with star power and flashy locations. It sparked memes and chatter about the spectacle of Netflix original blockbusters, highlighting how streaming platforms compete with traditional theatrical releases. Humor lands best when the cast banters off each other. Its reception may influence how studios weigh tone and scale in releases.
What Viewers Are Saying
Viewers find *Red Notice* to be an entertaining action-adventure with a star-studded cast and impressive visuals, appreciating its humor and high-energy set pieces. However, many note the plot is predictable and feels bloated, with some criticism aimed at repetitive jokes and underwhelming character development. While Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot's performances are generally well-received, Ryan Reynolds' comedic style divides audiences. Overall, the film is enjoyed when approached as light, fun entertainment rather than a serious thriller.
