On Netflix: Premiere of ‘Red Alert’, starring Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

In the film Johnson will play a top FBI agent behind two criminal masters, played by Reynolds and Gadot.

At the beginning of 2021, Netflix promised its subscribers at least one new original movie for each week of the year. One of the most anticipated in this promise is Red notice, an action comedy film with Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds y Gal Gadot in the leading roles. The tape will be available on the platform from November 12, but in the cinemas It can already be enjoyed from November 4.

The story was written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, who to his credit has the comedies Dodgeball: A Matter of Balls (2004) and Un espía y medio (2016) in which he had already worked with La Roca. This time Johnson plays an important FBI agent in back of two criminal masters and rivals, characterized by Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot. When Dwayne’s character captures Ryan, he convinces him to help him take down Gal, a famous art thief, before she can carry out a new mass robbery related to a ancient egyptian treasure.

The trio are among the biggest stars in Hollywood right now, making the film look like a high-profile film. Gadot is well known for her role as Wonder Woman, but in Red Alert she is the villain. Johnson and Reynolds, meanwhile, will be the film’s contrasting heroes forced to work together; It may be a cliché, but it’s a pretty entertaining duo.

While this is Reynolds and Gadot’s first time working together, Dwayne Johnson has starred alongside both in the franchise of Fast and furious. Johnson and Gadot were in Fast Five y Fast & Furious 6, while Reynolds had a cameo in Hobbs & Shaw, a derivative of the saga.

Marshall Thurber’s hectic criminal mischief clearly draws inspiration from action adventure film masterpieces. Some of them are movies of Indiana Jones, recognized with a sneaky wink, for example, when Reynolds descends into a vault full of priceless antiques looted by the Nazis and whistles in a couple of bars the theme of Raiders of the lost arkby John Williams. Others are the sagas of Bourne, Bond and Mission Impossible. Maybe there’s even a hint of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Other cast members include Ritu Arya, Chris Diamantopoulos, Ivan Mbakop, Vincenzo Amato, and Rafael Petardi.
