Red One it is the first film in which Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans share the poster. The first plays Santa’s head of security. And the second, the bounty hunter hired to find his trail. Although the feature film has not yet been released in theaters, journalists were recently able to see it. And this is clearthey were not conquered.

Very unflattering early reviews for the film

While these lines are written, Rotten tomatoes collected the opinions of 21 different journalists on Red One. However, the cumulative score of these journalists gives the film the average of 33%. A very low scorewhich suggests that the film may be a flop upon release.

Among the opinions collected, Alison Willmore sees the feature film as “a technically passable action comedy which was assembled from pieces taken from other films. » For David Rooney, the film “It lacks heart and infectious humor. » For his part, Peter Bradshaw believes so Red One East “destined for oblivion” in a very short time.

A big flop when it came out?
