SAS: Red Notice

I had such high hopes with this stellar cast. It just didn't come together. I've seen so many reviewers panning the acting, and there I disagree, but even Olivier couldn't save this one. The screenplay was abysmal - the most poignant dialogue coming from a 10 year old. It had good action sequences, but they had poor flow with the rest of the film. Each actor seemed to do what they could with what they had, except perhaps Rose who was too happy being a psychopath to be truly psychopathic. It's not a horrible film, despite the haters; it just misses the high mark of expectation given the talented cast.

Mediocre plot, awful acting, and the apallingly untalented Ruby Rose made this utterly forgetable.

Oh come on everybody with your 1 stars - it's not THAT bad. If Gerard Butler can get away with it in all his "Fallen" films then why not Sam in this one? His Lord of the Manor background is a bit cheesy (like they're trying for an 007 audition) but if you suspend disbelief (as we all did cheering on Bruce Willis) it's an enjoyable action film that we all know how it's going to end.......and we get the great British 'C' word into the bargain!!!

I like many others who have watched this film are Andy McNabb book fans. Yes I know most films never live up to the books in which they are based on but I was hoping that this would have been different, but once again it was not.

As others have said already, this film is full of cliches which I find spoil movies and films like this treat their audiences like idiots which we are not.

If your a fan and have already read the book, do yourself a favour and go back and read it again it would be better than watching this film.

I am giving this film 3 stars and this is generous.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS TRIPE.

And very bad acting by most of the actors. Leading actor with bad exaggerated performance, playing a role with unlikable skinny fiancee. This is a terrible B-movie quality and completely unnecessary production. American expatriates lived on the British soil and turned killing machines for the corporate, and bad apple in Britan's anti-terrorist SAS/MI5/MI6 or whatever organizations, such a highly unlikely crappy screenplay has been used again and again.

Don't be fooled by those who tried to tell you it's a good thriller, give it a try. Just don't.
