The newest holiday action film from director Jake Kasdan may give kids a fun time at the movies. However, the adult audience might feel disconnected because they are different from the demographic used to experience this movie. “Red One” has some good moments and great performances, but its humor feels very juvenile, and it has a premise we’ve seen dozens of times that makes the film seem predictable and formulaic. Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans are fun to watch together and give good performances despite being handed material that comes off as weak and doesn’t give them a ton of character development. “Red One” appeals more to kids thanks to its Christmas theme and lead performances by Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, but adults will be bored by the childlike nature and forgettable story presented in the film.
