While I did not love "Red Notice", I must admit that it's a decent time-passer. It also is a film that demands you keep watching and NOT turn it off when the writing seems bad...as, if you keep watching, you'll see that what seems bad isn't...it WILL make sense by the end of the film.
The film is odd. It's like combining a heist film with "Deadpool"...and a bit of "Wonder Woman"! The film is about a couple thieves (Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot) who are trying to steal all three treasured eggs belonging to Cleopatra....and the film also involves folks trying to stop them. So why do I say it reminds me of "Deadpool"? Well, Ryan Reynolds acts just like his Deadpool character...minus all the murder. He's definitely a smart-alecky guy...perhaps too much for many viewrs. And, Gadot seems much like Wonder Woman...with fighting skills that seem almost super-human. In addition, Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson is there to look cool and entertain.... I did like him in the film....the other two, well, the writing for their characters (particularly Reynolds) wasn't always great.
Overall, not a bad movie and CLEARLY a film designed as the first of several more films...which I am sure we'll be seeing soon. But it also is a bit hard to watch at times, as it also tries too hard to be cute and clever.
