'Red One': Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans in a Festive Action Comedy Misfire
TL;DR Summary
"Red One," starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, is a $250 million action-fantasy-comedy about a plot to kidnap Santa Claus. Despite its high-concept premise and star-studded cast, including Lucy Liu and J.K. Simmons, the film is criticized for lacking heart and humor, relying heavily on CGI, and being overly long and artificial. The movie follows Johnson and Evans as they team up to rescue Santa, but ultimately, it fails to deliver the magic and charm expected from a holiday film.
