Sam Heughan and Tom Hopper have great buddy chemistry; "SAS: Red Notice" doesn't really know how to articulate the things it wants to say, but if you just look at it as a straight-up action jam you'll have a fun enough time
less of a film than a TV special, "SAS: Red Notice" feels wholly un-cinematic at every turn -- too clean, too dull and too cheap to ever match the boyish bravado of the book
although its relationship to reality is largely lost – and the pointed political commentary is undermined by Laurence Malkin's crude and cliched script – Red Notice derives reasonable tension from the confines and intense jeopardy of the scenario
adapting writer Andy McNab's novel of the same name, veteran TV director Magnus Martens delivers the kind of forgettable, time-wasting thrills of the uber-masculine kind that make SAS: Red Notice a perfect fit for a mid-pandemic VOD market
a winning performances from both Sam Heughan and Ruby Rose, both verbally and physically; "SAS: Red Notice" is a winner strictly in the action department, but there is also admiration to be found in the messy behavior of its characters
