Yes, dear readers, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. While Santa Claus hasn’t crossed Herald Square just yet, the movie industry is starting to load its sleigh with holiday themed delights. Depending on how much of a Hallmark Channel fan you are, the middle of November may seem a bit early for a movie like Red One. Luckily, director Jake Kasdan’s saved-from-streaming blockbuster is a cinematic delight that sees Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson landing a buddy cop caper that delivers magic and laughter that doesn’t solely depend on yuletide greetings to entertain.

The trailers for Red One are cleverly deceptive as to what the full story of the picture entails, but the basic idea is pretty well-served in the marketing. What starts with infamously proficient criminal Jack “The Wolf” O’Malley (Chris Evans) being hired for a random job turns into an all-out battle to save Christmas. That’s thanks to our heel’s latest score leading to Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) being abducted by unknown parties.
