Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was once the king of blockbusters, able to turn any concept into a hit, but with the changing power hierarchy in Hollywood, those days are over and now his movies are just…well. black adamConsidered a huge flop, in retrospect, it was a blockbuster and time will be kind to his latest film, red number one. The Christmas-themed action film is now available to watch on Amazon Prime after a disappointing box office performance that failed to recoup its budget, let alone additional marketing costs, but sadly it Really bad.
The actors understood the task
I went to the theater over the weekend to see the opening red number one Along with a friend of mine, I expected to laugh at this movie, but instead, through the sheer power of Johnson and Chris Evans, we ended up having a great time. It’s not that this movie is a secret masterpiece or anything, but it does have a Santa Claus played by J.K. Simmons, Lucy Liu plays Nick Fury in the movie, Kiernan Shipka chews the scenery, and Kristofer Hivju, you know Will recognize him. game of Thrones” Thormund Giantsbane, in a scene-stealing performance as Krampus. The sum was not greater than the parts, but each participant understood the task.
red number one Chris Evans stars as Jack O’Malley, a hacker, thief, stalker, and overall not-so-nice guy who steals candy from babies. Dwayne Johnson plays Callum Drift, a name that goes by the name of Max Power and is “a completely fake name that someone thought sounded cool” who happens to be an ELF (Law Enforcement, Logistics and Defense) commander and has the ability to have a single facial expression throughout the film. When Santa Claus is kidnapped and Christmas is in danger of being canceled, two paths cross, prompting Mora (the Mythology Oversight and Restoration Agency) to take action.
From sarcastic laughter to supporting Santa Claus
plot red number one Very predictable and simple, but also fun. No one took this movie seriously, which gave it an absurd energy that most $250 million blockbusters lack, yes, that’s the budget of this movie, and no, you can’t see it on the screen It’s because most of the special effects look like they’re from a SyFy original series. What I’m trying to say is that the Evil Snowman does look better in the movie than in the trailer, but what’s hidden is that Johnson shrinks and grows in size like Ant-Man during the fight scenes, an effect that looks amazing every time it appears. brutal.
although its shortcomings, red number one It’s funny because it hearkens back to Christmas movies from the 80s and 90s that weren’t afraid to take aim A younger audience. Compared to some modern Christmas classics such as the inexplicably popular polar expressit was a breath of fresh air to at least try to do something different. It’s also fun to watch Evans continue his career playing scumbags after Captain America.
red number one The film is now available on Amazon Prime, where it had been until last year’s writers’ strike delayed its release and Amazon decided to fill a gap in the film’s schedule. I predict that now that it’s available to watch at home, this will become a cult classic Christmas movie. At first, this will be a sarcastic favorite, but as time goes on, laughing at the movie will eventually slowly turn into laughing at the stupid jokes in the movie, and you’ll be trying to remain calm and detached on the outside, but on the inside , you can’t wait to see Santa Claus in all his glory. I know because it happened to me.
