Red One Review: Outrageous But Ineffective Christmas Schlock
As the holiday season approaches, we have an exciting new movie titled “Red One” for your viewing pleasure, courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios. Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a rugged character (it’s hard to imagine, I know), this film features him as Callum Drift, the head of North Pole security for the one and only Santa Claus, portrayed by J.K. Simmons. However, just before Christmas Eve, Santa gets abducted, forcing Callum to join forces with hacker Jack O’Malley (Chris Evans) to save the day and Christmas itself. This movie is quite outlandish and I must admit, it’s challenging for me to decide whether to appreciate its absurdity or be baffled by it!
