Red One is the latest addition to The Rock's current, unfortunate streak of disappointing blockbusters. The Christmas-themed action movie is now playing.
Red One Score Details “ Red One is the latest addition to The Rock's current, unfortunate streak of disappointing blockbusters.” Pros Cons On paper, it makes perfect sense at this point in his career for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to headline a Christmas-themed action movie. The wrestler-turned-actor-turned-branding juggernaut has, both for better and for worse, spent the past 15 years of his career establishing himself as a family-friendly action star.
At the center of Red One‘s story is Jack O’Malley , a world-class hacker and bounty hunter who isn’t so much stuck in a rut of bad behavior as he is trapped on an island of selfishness that he built. He may carry himself like an arrogant, aloof Bad Guy, but his strained relationship with his adolescent son, Dylan , reveals the nagging emptiness at the core of his existence.
Callum’s plans are upended when a sorceress named Grýla uses Jack’s expert tracking skills to locate Santa and kidnap him from the North Pole just two days before Christmas. In response, Callum teams up with Zoe Harlow , the head of a military organization dedicated to protecting the world’s good-hearted mythological figures and policing its most dangerous ones, to find Simmons’ Saint Nicholas and save him from Grýla.
Red One‘s visit to Krampus’ realm features some of its most impressive practical efforts — Hivju and company are all believably transformed into demonic-looking monsters — but the sequence goes on far too long considering how unfunny it is. The scene is a creative swing that doesn’t connect, and the same goes for Red One‘s villain. After giving one of the year’s strangest and best one-scene performances in Longlegs, Kiernan Shipka sticks out like a sore thumb in Red One.
