Tonally inconsistent, full of deus ex machinas and generic on every level. BUT, the slick direction and - even more so - the dynamic between Reynolds and Johnson, elevate this so much.

If it weren’t for this cast, Red Notice would be incredibly forgettable, but instead I found myself laughing a fair amount and can’t say I was ever bored.

A popcorn flick for sure, but not everything has to be Citizen Kane.

6/10
