	Media	Author	Review
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"It has a certain clomping, smart-alecky entertainment value, wedded to the meta appeal of watching three A-listers juggle all the twists with ease (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s diverting enough to justify the sequel so clearly set up in its final scenes, even if it’s unlikely to linger in the minds of many viewers beyond the end credits"
		Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"This wannabe streaming blockbuster proves that all the money in the world can’t buy a good time"
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"It’s the sweat-and-bullets equivalent of a Hallmark Christmas movie, a film that works best if you’re paying only half-attention to it while folding laundry or paying the bills."
		Dan Jolin Empire	"Though flawed, Red Notice is a solid blast of lightweight fun (...) Exactly what you’d expect from a crime-caper action-comedy pairing Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds. Nothing more, nothing less (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Keith Watson Slant	"A lifeless pastiche of various blockbuster action-movie styles from the past four decades (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"At its best, “Red Notice” feels like a glam and glossy live-action riff on “Lupin the Third,” with a little “Uncharted” mixed in for good measure"
		Tara Bennett IGN	"An okay action-adventure that copies better films (...) While this may be positioned as a new franchise, there’s nothing here that sets up any urgency or excitement to go on more adventures with this trio."
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A film trying so hard to recall the fun of other films that it forgets to have any fun for itself (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Robert Daniels Polygon	"[It] is cheap, clumsy, and worst of all, boring"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"'Red Notice' works surprisingly well for what it is (...) Like a skilled con artist, the movie steals your time, but leaves you feeling like you got the more advantageous end of the deal."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Thurber and everyone involved forgot a little thing called personality. Rarely have I seen a movie that feels more processed by a machine (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"'Red Notice' plays one of those self-consciously convoluted, ultimately derivative long cons that strain so hard to seem breezily insouciant they wind up wearing you out"
		Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"A grab bag of strenuously madcap shenanigans loosely gathered into movie form."
		Valerie Complex Deadline	"[It] has some engaging characters, but the praise stops there as the film lacks in every other category. Everything about the film is surface level"
		John Serba Decider	"A pointless junk-food action-comedy guaranteed to waste your time (...) Witless, lifeless, shameless, hopeless, useless"
		M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"'Red Notice' is an enjoyable action diversion (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Rachel Labonte Screen Rant	"Slick, fun and a bit silly (...) 'Red Notice' doesn't quite coalesce into something that could become a timeless classic of its own, but it provides plenty of entertainment (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"While 'Red Notice' may not be unwatchable, by the time the film ends with a deliberate sequel set-up, I was so turned off by the mercenary nature of it all that I was left with a bad taste in my mouth"
		Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"While 'Red Notice' may not be unwatchable, by the time the film ends with a deliberate sequel set-up, I was so turned off by the mercenary nature of it all that I was left with a bad taste in my mouth"
		Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"Deeply unexceptional and pedestrian: lights shining on three worldwide-class superstars, with perfect white teeth with explosions and gloss all around them, and never once creating anything that resembles a captivating spark"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"'Red Notice' takes one twist and turn after another, none of them particularly clever, as the dialogue is filled with references to movies, which only serve to remind us we'd rather be watching [those] (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
