By Emily Rotthaler — <\/strong>Comedy, light-heartedness, and a d\u00e9j\u00e0-vu of Ocean\u2019s Eleven<\/em>. These are what can be expected when watching Netflix\u2019 new Action\/Comedy movie Red Notice.<\/em> In the first three days after its release on November 5, the film attracted 4.2 million households in the US alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starring Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, and Gal Gadot, Red Notice<\/em> features an A-list cast. Reynolds plays the self-proclaimed \u201cgreatest thief in the world,\u201d Nolan Booth, who is on the hunt for three priceless golden artifacts, \u201cCleopatra\u2019s eggs.\u201d Johnson, who plays FBI profiler John Hartley, has other plans for Booth and catches him after he successfully steals the first egg. After he becomes the victim of an elaborate conspiracy, however, Hartley has to work with Booth to steal the three eggs before Booth\u2019s fellow art thief \u201cthe Bishop\u201d can do so. \u201cThe Bishop\u201d is portrayed by Gal Gadot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As can be expected from two actors best known for their comedic roles in other movies, Reynolds\u2019 and Johnson\u2019s continuous banter successfully caters the easy humor. In the style of most thief movies, Red Notice<\/em>features complex deceptions until the end and characters who race to be one step ahead of one another. Unlike most serious thief movies, such as Ocean\u2019s Eleven,<\/em> the plot of Red Notice<\/em> is fairly thin, straight forward and at some points makes little sense. Take the random appearance of Ed Sheeran, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I usually don\u2019t like the comedy movies of our time, but I have to admit that I got a good two hours of chuckling out of this one. I\u2019d recommend watching this movie, when you want to turn your brain off for a while and enjoy some easy entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from Cleopatra\u2019s golden eggs, Red Notice<\/em> also features some easter eggs. If scanned, the QR code that is displayed on an invitation card for an event, for example, brings the viewer to a website that holds the blooper reel of the movie. Some extra fun on top of an already humorous film, so to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at Red Notice<\/em> solely from a comedic standpoint, I would rate it a 4.5 out of 5. If you are looking for a serious action movie with complex fight scenes, however, you should probably skip this one for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
