Red One

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wrapped in slick packaging but wholly lacking in holiday magic, Red One is a ho-ho-hum action-adventure.

Audience Says

Led by The Rock, the entire ensemble delivers ample servings of naughty and nice that may leave you humming, “Oh what fun it is to ride in a Red One open sleigh.”

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

This is the big American blockbuster of the week, and it is absolute crap.

“Red One,” a film that has the courage to ask: What if the Santa Claus story was like a Marvel movie?

Donald Liebenson

Chicago Reader

With all its North Pole mayhem, Red One plays like a feature-length version of The Night the Reindeer Died, the Christmas movie spoof that kicked off Scrooged (1988). But that was satire, and Red One isn’t kidding.

Austin Burke

Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation

While not as egregious as its initial trailer, this movie seemingly takes a note from every recent generic action-comedy blockbuster, stitches it together with some Christmas tropes, and hopes its recognizable cast can carry the experience.

Rated: 5/10

For Your Reference Podcast

Red One may be wrapped differently but brings the same warm festive cheer needed during the merry season. A bit of action and a lot of heart.

Rated: 3/5
