Being confined to a chair while recovering from surgery means I have ample time to catch up on some of the movies that I've been meaning to see. Red Notice is on the list, largely on the strength of its three leading actors.

The plot is a fairly basic, by-the-numbers art heist -- enjoyable without being exceptional. It's clever without being terribly surprising. The strength of the script is in its dialogue and delivery far more than the actual storyline. (Try not to think too hard about the flawed logic, such as Nazi cars starting up after sitting unused for decades in an underground bunker.)

The movie is also very colorful and very stylish, with set pieces in exotic locations around the world ... or Georgia, since that's where a fair number of them were filmed.

What the movie has going for it is a very likable cast led by three bankable stars -- although their roles certainly didn't stretch their abilities as actors. Ryan Reynolds plays a variation on Ryan Reynolds and, of course, The Rock plays The Rock. Both men are talented actors, but each has found a niche from which neither seems willing to stray very far. Fortunately, they have been able to get a great deal of mileage from those types of roles.

Gal Gadot is deliciously charming as the third wheel in their triangle.

At the end of the day, Red Notice is a fun film with which to pass a couple of hours. The movie is entertaining and inoffensive, and I like the cast enough to let them carry the story without too many questions.
