After Santa Claus -- Code Name: RED ONE -- is kidnapped, the North Pole's Head of Security (Dwayne Johnson) must team up with the world's most infamous bounty hunter and notorious hacker (Chris Evans) in a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas.
- jackmeat23. desember 2024My quick rating - 6.8/10. I am a bit surprised to say this flick delivers a high-octane holiday adventure that’s equal parts action and yuletide cheer. Combining an imaginative North Pole setting with globe-trotting thrills, this movie offers a fun, festive ride that’s perfect for the holiday season. The film’s world-building shines, presenting the North Pole as a sprawling Christmas complex brimming with advanced technology, magical elements, and festive charm. The special effects are top-notch, bringing the Christmas lore to life with a mix of dazzling visuals and creative storytelling. Dwayne Johnson is in his element as the tough-as-nails Head of Security, embracing his action-hero persona with charisma and the right amount of humor. J.K. Simmons delivers a standout performance as a stacked, battle-ready Santa Claus, proving that even Saint Nick can pack a punch. Kiernan Shipka’s Gryla is a compelling villain, balancing menace with a touch of dark holiday magic. Chris Evans drops the shield for this flick and convincingly plays a reluctant tracker who has to get off the naughty list to help save Christmas. Meanwhile, the Krampus character (Kristofer Hivju) is surprisingly well-developed, with a memorable introduction that adds depth to the film’s lore. The humor lands well, keeping the tone light-hearted even amidst the high-stakes action sequences. The movie doesn’t take itself too seriously, leaning into its popcorn-flick nature with playful energy. The action is well-choreographed, offering plenty of thrills to keep us engaged. While The Red One may not reach the status of a timeless Christmas classic, it’s undeniably entertaining and full of heart. It’s a holiday treat that’s perfect for a family movie night or a December escape. With its solid cast, clever take on Christmas mythology, and action-packed story, this is one gift worth unwrapping this holiday season.
- Richard19. desember 2025Went into this one with rock bottom expectations thanks to all the bad press and honestly… it didn’t deserve most of it. Streamed it, sat back and ended up enjoying it far more than I thought I would. Sure, it’s not flawless, a few rough edges, a couple of choices that critics clearly pounced on, but underneath all that noise there’s a perfectly solid, entertaining movie. Sometimes the reputation sticks harder than the reality and this is one of those cases. A surprisingly decent watch that deserved a fairer shake.
- texas31929. november 2025Damn good Christmas movie definitely was expecting it to be that good. I caught a clip of it in passing and decided to check out while working on a project. It was a well thought out plot and structure. The acting wasn’t bad or over the top, the move fit right into to a teen+ movie.
- Kevin Ward1. juli 2025I honestly think Nick Kroll was the only one who understood what kind of movie he was acting in. Everyone else was treating every line delivery as if it was super serious. There’s a ridiculous amount of Christmas lore they’re trying to build—stealing a whole bunch of it from Ant-man of all things—but none of it really worked. The sheer amount of stupid acronymns in this is absolutely insane. Enforcement Logistics and Fortitude. Mythological Oversight and Restoration Authority. Unintended Discharge of Magic. (or something) and it felt like there were so many more.
- MeghannB23. november 2024Exactly as ridiculous as I expected, but really really fun. My kids liked it, I liked it, and let’s be real— the Rock never disappoints. It’s over the top and yet, that’s the magic of Santa-themed movies. They are naturally nonsensical. The dialogue was a little gratuitous and borderline churchy at the top, but then found its stride. Chris Evan’s accent was completely unnecessary and so that’s the one thing I likely would have cut first. Is there such a thing as too many holiday movies? I think not. Add this to your yearly rotation.
- DJ15. januar 2025Best family Christmas movie in a long time, seriously I am unsure of why the critics didn't like it. This isn't winning awards but it was fun (like most Dwayne Johnson movies) with some clever humor, albeit usually juvenile in nature and solid action. It had a great storyline and wasn't to extreme to not let pre-teens to watch it (despite the PG-13 rating). My kids (10 year old b/g twins) loved every minute of it and it meant I didn't have to watch The Grinch for the 337 time. Again, this is a family friendly action movie, don't expect the world and you will be pleasantly surprised by this one!
