Good action movies come in all shapes and sizes. Over the past few years, the gap between blockbusters and direct-to-video stuntfests has shrunk to nothing, and action fans know that the right actors and a little bit of budget can go a long way towards an entertaining experience. So don’t let appearances deceive you: SAS: Red Notice might have a silly name and a second-tier cast of actors, but it will likely earn a spot on more than a few Best Action Movies of 2021 lists before all is said and done. For years, the British government has used a paramilitary group called the Black Swans to quietly eliminate opposition in foreign countries. But when an act of genocide is caught on camera, George Clements (Serkis) is forced to disavow the Swans, sending in special forces operative Tom Buckingham (Heughan) and others to quietly assassinate them. Soon, though, they learn that Swan leader Grace Lewis (Rose) has survived and planned a deadly assault on the Channel Tunnel. Stuck underground with fiancée Sophie Hart (John-Kamen) in tow, Buckingham must eliminate the threat before the Swans – or the British government – deems the train’s passengers as acceptable losses.
