Another movie review for you... Red Notice (2021), an action-comedy with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot.
I watched this movie on Netflix one day because I was tired, bored and curious. As something to watch when one is tired, bored and curious I think it's entertaining. Not great. Not really good but entertaining.
Basically, I think the director looks at Reynolds and said "You know that thing you did in Deadpool? Do that." (I honestly don't know Reynolds work well enough to know if he really only plays that one role or if he's doomed to it now... but that's what he did.) Meanwhile, the director told Johnson "You're the straight man" and just said to Gadot "Ham it up."
So, yeah... Ryan Reynolds being weird and snarky, the Rock being stoic and Gal Gadot being completely over the top. Throw in a "plot" (and I use the term very loosely) involving jewel theft and villains who would be too cheesy for most comic books and you have this movie.
Like I said, not great, not good but entertaining.
