More like Red Cliché, this big budget action-comedy adventure tries to be everything for everyone. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot, it's a globetrotting heist film filled with plots from every heist and long con film ever made. It co-stars Ritu Arya and Chris Diamontopolous.
Mr. Johnson is a federal agent who reluctantly teams up with a notorious art thief played by Mr. Reynolds to catch another art thief played by Ms. Gadot, before she can acquire all of Cleopatra's legendary golden eggs. It's all mindless fun, fuel by its attractive cast and their individual strengths. Mr. Reynolds is quick with the one-liners, Ms. Gadot gets to show off her martial arts skills and Mr. Johnson is...well...Mr. Johnson, who starts to look pretty bored as the film moves along from one exotic location to another.
As one of the highest grossing (and costliest) Netflix films ever, expect a sequel or even two.
