After Booth is captured and Hartley is double-crossed and ends up in prison with him, they eventually begin to work together to take down an even bigger thief in "The Bishop" (Gal Gadot). Working for the BAU, detective John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson)is in pursuit of the most wanted art thief in the world, Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds). There is some fun to be had with Red Notice, but I'll probably forget I watched it a few months from now. I'm a big fan of Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot has really grown on me as an actress too but based solely on the premise, I pretty much knew what to expect with this movie, and I was right. Netflix's Red Notice is the prime example of a generic action-comedy that's clearly banking on its leading performers. Yes, every now and then a film comes out that nobody has heard of and ends up making money because of the stars, but it seems so few and far between these days. It has been decades since films were released and garnered attention simply due to who was in them.
