What is different about movies today than the way movies were? Yes, movies needed to change. But they didn't have to be the same cynical clones of each other. Now, there's a sub genre of "old" movies, but why do we keep revisiting them? Simple. They don't make them like they used to.
Ryan Reynolds plays the worlds greatest art thief, and Gal Gadot is the world's second greatest art thief. Pursuing them both is Dwayne Johnson, who belongs to the FBI. However, Dwayne Johnson gets framed and put into prison along with Ryan Reynolds, and they agree to team up to get out of there. They succeed, and pursue a priceless treasure in a race to beat Gal Gadot. Ryan Reynolds wants the treasure for himself, but Dwayne Johnson just wants to prove his innocence. They crisscross the globe with numerous hilarious encounters.
The directing is top-notch. A movie doesn't have to be a serious drama to be artistically beautiful, and Ryan Marshall Thurber demonstrates that amazingly while having a good time. The cinamtograohy, adds to the excitement, with an (in my opinion) Oscar deserving score. Not too serious, but it fits the movie perfectly and beyond. The acting isn't anything new, but the actors do an amazing job of almost playing themselves and their stereotypes, which, lets be honest, is what we really want to see in a movie like this.
A harsh critic might not enjoy this film. There's no question there are a lot of happy "coincidences" that occur that are not realistically plausible. But this is a crime that Indiana Jones and Star Wars are frequently guilty of anyway. Some movies you just can't over analyze, and that's ok. A movie can't be silly, but it can be fun. I've seen a lot of terrible movies that in their attempt to be fun they just end up being silly. A joke of a movie. But Red Notice is not only good, but it's fun too. And that's why it's my favorite action/comedy movie ever.
