Red Notice (2021)

IMDb plot summary: An Interpol agent tracks the world's most wanted art thief.
Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot.

This is the fluffiest kind of fluffy action movie, relying primarily on the chemistry of the leads to carry the film. It largely works -- I had a good enough time with it, particularly with Reynolds and Johnson's interactions. There are enough individually entertaining moments to keep me smiling and enough plot twists to keep me mildly interested in what was happening with the story. None of it is spectacular or memorable but it's fully capable of being a good weekend watch. If you like the stars, if you like the genre, if you want something light and fluffy to watch, this one'll do.
