AFTER 38:20 it's a full spoiler review
This week's See It Or Skip It has us diving into the brand-new Amazon Prime thriller Red One, a film that pairs Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans in an action-packed holiday adventure. Combining over-the-top stunts, Christmas magic, and plenty of jokes, Red One attempts to reimagine the holiday genre – but who exactly is it reimagining it for?
Ian is joined by his head of security, Liam, as we unpack whether Red One delivers enough thrills and holiday cheer to captivate audiences or if it leaves viewers wondering who this film is really meant to please. Is it a family-friendly romp, an edgy action-comedy, or something awkwardly caught in between? Does Dwayne Johnson’s larger-than-life charisma mix well with Chris Evans’ charm, or do they feel mismatched? And how does the film’s tone juggle Santa Claus lore, epic battles, and heartwarming moments without losing the plot?
We’ll tackle all these questions – including whether Red One truly understands its audience – as we dissect the movie and decide if you should SEE IT or SKIP IT!
