"Red Notice"

Just a delightful romp.  If you want one of those "Oceans Eleven" kind of escapist film to enjoy on a lazy afternoon, this is it.  Gal Gadot escapes her Wonder Woman persona just a bit, to play a very sexy, very manipulative thief.  Ryan Reynolds is his typical sarcastic but hysterical outsider.  Dwayne Johnson plays Reynolds' non-amused straight man and the "heavy".  Fresh face Ritu Arya is a good addition to the mix and provides needed perspective.  It's type-casting and only has one or two twists I didn't fully see coming but it's engaging, enjoyable, has laugh-out-loud funny moments and just works.  Enjoy.
