A global trot and robbery movie that mimics itself may be attractive, but this movie has lost its popularity
The "Red Wanted Order" is like a parody of oneself-a star-studded, global looter, full of McGoffin, twists and turns and double crosses. And for most of its super long two-hour running time, it escaped by chance. The idea of stars like Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds running around in glamorous evening clothes and promoting valuable gadgets from historical places is one of the basic cornerstones of the film.
Alas, the screenwriter and director Rawson Marshall Thurber (Rawson Marshall Thurber) in his previous collaborations with Johnson ("CIA" and "Skyscrapers") showed affirmation of popcorn nonsense, but I don't know how When exiting. Blinks, nudges, stunts, and surprises are so dense that at some point the charm leaks from the "red notification", leaving nothing but fatigue.
The situation may be even worse: Reynolds's two "killer bodyguard" movies represent the modern lowest point of this action comedy and its fast joke mechanism, and the head, shoulders and headdress of this movie are above punishment. But it turns out that even a film built on an excessive foundation should know when to say "when".
We opened our business in Rome, where FBI analyst John Hartley (Johnson) received the intelligence bishop (Gado) from the dark art world presence, and the thief Nolambus (Reynolds) would steal Julius Caesar to One of Cleopatra’s Three Jeweled Eggs. Hartley caught Booth in the performance, which led to one of the best chases in the movie, Booth’s parkour skills allowed him to pass through small passages and The scaffolding climbed up where the strong Hartley could not easily keep up.
Hartley and Interpol's Inspector Das (Ritu Arya, "Umbrella Academy") tracked Booth to his Bali hideout, but when the egg was stolen again during his arrest, Das accused Hartley of participating in the scam and transported him To the Gulag where the same Russian Booth has been imprisoned. The enemy must reluctantly team up, escape first, and then track down all three Cleopatra eggs, for which a billionaire has promised to make a fortune. They only need to find them before the bishop, even if she always seems to be two steps ahead of them.
The action pinball from London to Spain to Argentina is full of witty words and costume changes. Cinematographer Markus Förderer ("The Colony") provided the necessary sheen for films set mainly in mansions and museums, while client Mary E. Vogt ("Crazy Rich Asian") and production designer Andy Nicoll Sen ("Captain Marvel") supports their bargaining party. These departments also won gold stars for the elaborate South American mines (equipped with appropriate adventure clothing) during the movie's climax.
Just like Reynolds’ acrimonious, self-aware skills-when they enter that mine, you only know that he has to whistle the "Lost Ark Raiders" theme-a little "red notice" goes a long way . Action scenes are usually fun, and they provide stars with an excuse to stop joking. However, the loss between Johnson and Gadot felt like a missed opportunity. You would expect the hand-to-hand battle between Wonder Woman and the Rock to be one for many years, but like contemporary film choreography (whether dancing or fighting), the over-crazy editing shows a lack of rehearsal time.
"Red Briefing" is tied to Netflix, which makes sense; it is equivalent to the sweat and bullets of a Hallmark Christmas movie. This movie works best if you only spend half your attention on folding clothes or paying bills.
"Red Briefing" will be shown in selected theaters on November 5th and premiered on Netflix on November 12.
