The newest Honest Trailers from Screen Junkies takes aim at Netflix’s terribly average and brainless thriller, Red Notice. Rawson When FBI Agent John Hartley and legendary art thief Nolan Booth team up to track down a fellow notorious crook and a clutch of precious eggs going back to Cleopatra’s reign, the action-comedy has Marshall Thurber’s name all over it.
Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Chris Diamantopoulos, Ritu Arya, Ivan Mbakop, Vincenzo Amato, and Rafael Petards all star in Red Notice. Reuniting for the third time since Universal Pictures had produced Central Intelligence and Skyscraper for Johnson and Thurber, Universal Pictures created Red Notice. To make the picture their most costly original, Netflix purchased the rights to the film and spent $200 million, beating off fellow Reynolds starrer 6 Underground. Critics were largely unimpressed when the picture was released in limited theatres and on Netflix in November.
A month after Red Notice’s release, Screen Junkies is concentrating on the film for the next edition of its Honest Trailers series. There are several storey gaps and predictable elements in the current Netflix picture. Netflix’s most costly production and first true combination of three big-name performers, with Johnson and Reynolds having previously worked together on Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, fueled excitement in Red Notice throughout its development. Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Chris Diamantopoulos, Ritu Arya, Ivan Mbakop, Vincenzo Amato, and Rafael Petards all star in Red Notice. Reuniting for the third time since Universal Pictures had produced Central Intelligence and Skyscraper for Johnson and Thurber, Universal Pictures created Red Notice.
For all its flaws and lack of originality, the film will be seen by critics and audiences alike as another Reynolds streaming production that relies only on its three stars. An inevitability that Johnson’s John Hartley, who plays a detective, is actually the real Bishop is pointed out in the Honest Trailer for Red Notice, which does a good job of highlighting the film’s fundamental problems.
