• A clever FBI agent, a resourceful art thief and a brilliant criminal are the protagonists of "Red Notice".

  • Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot embody these colorful characters for a series of wacky adventures.

  • Humor and action take the lion's share of this great entertainment.

A game of cats and mice around expensive works of art.

This is what offers the very happy film 

Red Notice

by Rawson Marshall Thurber, available this Friday on Netflix.

Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds respectively embody a gifted criminal, an FBI agent and an international thief entangled in adventures as joyful as the aftershocks are murderous.

The

Almost Secret Agents

and 

Skyscraper director

knows how to do it when it comes to wacky humor and hilarious action.

His wacky robbery scenario is cut to the line and we understand how he attracted performers who are among the biggest stars in the world.

A trio of shock

The crossovers of this trio transport them from famous museums to isolated prisons through posh evenings. A real moment of happiness and relaxation! "None of us were trying to pull the blanket over," Ryan Reynolds said in the press kit. Our way of working was akin to the practices of a hip-hop club where everyone is able to stand back and applaud the performance of others. The chemistry between them is one of the successes to be credited to the filmmaker. The incessant teasing that the characters exchange as their references to great moments of popular culture (

in the lead) are sources of bursts of laughter in the heart of spectacular sequences.

Watching Dwayne Johnson drag Gal Gadot onto the dance floor or try to escape from a Siberian prison with Ryan Reynolds offers beautiful moments of sensuality and thrills but above all of the perfectly assumed second degree. “This is an action and adventure comedy,” says the director, and for me, the comedy part requires having a solid basic frame for each scene. This rigor did not prevent him from letting his little world improvise on the side of the dialogues which reinforces the naturalness of the whole. It's very simple: no sooner does 

Red Notice

 end than we want to find the protagonists in new adventures, they are so endearing and well sketched.

"I hope you won't miss me too much", declares the character of Gal Gadot at the end of the final credits.

We would be delighted to find this brilliant adventurer and her two accomplices just as charismatic as her.
