Film Brain is ready for action as Outlander's Sam Heughan has to step into a Die Hard-style scenario when his train is taken over in this star-studded Andy McNab adaptation, that serves as perhaps the ultimate proof that the British struggle to make their own action blockbusters.

You've probably already been told this, but you're really rocking the beard, I think it's a great look for you!
It's a glorious day when someone discovers a beard works for them.
What is it with movies getting actors with a lot of charisma and charm and trying to make them play “cold and detached?”
It rarely works out well.
When I saw Daniel Craig being charming and funny in Knives Out, I was wondering why he didn't act that way as James Bond.
"Cold and detached" is often incorrectly used as cheap shorthand for "cool."

@@Alucard-A-La-Carte 300 was pretty good though
Man, this Die Hard on a train made me value Under Siege 2.
Keep trying Mr. Heughan, it's not like Bronsnan's flicks were better during his pre-Bond era.
Like the aforementioned Alastair Maclean adaptation, Death Train.
And Craig bounced back from being in Lara Croft...
@@davidjames579 I take Death Train over this film
When a Seagal Film Sequal is better than an Action Film, including the S.A.S, you got a problem.
Very underrated film reviewer. I enjoy every single one of these.
Ruby Rose: 😐 "This movie is literal perfection, because my face is tired!"
Karma: 🤔 "Well, that escalated quickly..."
So that’s what happened to Batwoman, her direct to video/Redbox career started.
She killed her career
Well, she never had any career at all. Look her up she was barely in anything.
Ruby Rose actually managed to get work after being fired from Batwoman?
Wouldn’t really call this work
@@chaz9808 It's a paycheck, at least
Supposedly, she left from Batwoman to work on this. Clearly it was worth it! [/sarcasm]
I thought she quit.
@@OverlyPositiveFanboy Everything I've seen suggests she was fired, but maybe I'm misremembering
RIP Andy McNab
Saw this the other day, Awful acting, and just smelt of Sky's usual nepotism of using the same people in their shows ad nauseum.
I did love the constant cross-promotion of Sky News - including the unlikely sight of Ben Shephard covering serious news!
@@FilmBrain Fox has been doing that to Sky News for decades, remember being taken aback to seeing them in Independence Day. Oh, how times have changed though.
Well Ruby Rose....all ya gotta see to discount it.
I saw this movie on Netflix last night and after viewing it, I see what you mean. My first complaint is the traitor or "snide" reveal. All logical script clues pointed to Major Bissett being the traitor. I saw NONE indicating Declan Smith as the traitor. Second, Dr. Sophie gave Grace multiple reasons to shoot her. Third, I don't understand why Grace brought her along through the pipeline. What was the purpose of her being there?
Ruby Rose is as believable as a honest politician.
oh thank god for the review, did anyone notice a funny scene, i mean it is the one and only i saw in any movie...a hostage taker after many of her teammates killing hostages and blasting a part of the train asks for a hoodie...the response of the hostage made me laugh really hard...she gave the hoodie like her mom is asking her to change the tv channel
I've learned that psychopaths' pupils doesn't dilate. so can anyone please explain to me why Tom's and Grace's (both psychopaths) pupils dilate in several scenes on this movie.
I immediately thought SAS Red Noses when I saw the title... looks clownish
S.A.S the Red Nosed Reindeer
Did they also have codenames like Dancer and Blitzen?
Action movies that have that many words in their name are usually bad and try to cover it by sounding complex
Really good entries to that genre tend to have one word or two word titles and keep it simple.
Die Hard, Commando, First Blood, Predator, Under Siege, The Terminator, Extraction, etc.
Does Dog Soldiers count as an English action film? :) or Hot Fuzz?
You seem to do suspense thrillers much better like Eye In the Sky with Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman or the tv miniseries like The State Within or the original Traffik.
And forget not _The Wild Geese_
I do think our action films work better when they're mixed, like action horror like Dog Solidiers, or comedies like hot fuzz, snatch & lock stock.
I was about to mention James Bond. But that isn't an action franchise strictly speaking.
@@wjzav1971 actually it is lol
Everyone saying this movie was bad ? but seriously i watched it and found it was a brilliant film ! great storyline great acting and I and my wife fully enjoyed it !
I suppose British action movies have Hot Fuzz, but even then, the whole point of that film is riffing on the style of American action movies like Point Break and Bad Boys II.
British action movies only seem to work when there's an element of ironic humour running through them such as Hot Fuzz or Kingsmen.
What Hot Fuzz get's so right is that when the UK tries to be Hollywood glamour, it always has this naff British smallness to it. A good example of this is a pic of Catherine Zeta Jones at the Dad's Army premier in 2016-she looks like she's on the Oscar's red carpet-but has a guy holding an umbrella over her because it's raining!
You're awesome. Can't really think of much else to say.
Good to see a new installment of Bad Movie Beatdown. Thanks.
why would the UK attack a state in the Union? oh... nevermind, the Queen wants the colony back, right?
#impeachthequeen
To anyone who maybe wondering this is not the red notice with the rock,Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot for Netflix
I'd rather wait for that. Having Ryan Reynolds makes most movies he's in tolerable (except for Blade Trinity and Green Lantern).
@@jakey14344 His career really took off in the last years. Maybe he decided to fire his agent.
@@wjzav1971 i guess Deadpool killed him.
Finally watched this last night with the Mrs. I kept asking myself what just happened? Example, the SAS come to the locked gate in the tunnel, they can"t turn the gear to open it and decry that they cant blow it open lest they alert the terrorists. The next scene, they"re tip-toeing up to yje train. How did they get past the door?
The "Drop Her" bit was funny and actually a little cathartic for me. "I love you my psycho killer. Never mind the honeymoon love: Go chase the sequel that will never hapoen!"
I liked Serkis scene chomping btw. And Grace's weird double standard of coldly killing the father for not producing his lost phone in front of his daughter, then chiding her crew repeatedly to be professional (ie dont beat up the girls) was ridiculous.
And we also were put off by the duelling titles. Red notice is free on Prime but Rise of Black Swan is 9.99. Huh?
Any plans on reviewing Cherry? It's the standout movie of the year for my money, and well worth a look.
Don't have Apple TV+, alas.
Die Hard? This movie rather evoked memories from Under Siege 2 (where the train was at least moving and which kind a was self-aware in how stupid it was.)
Well, both Under Siege films are also Die Hard clones, so...
@@FilmBrain czcams.com/video/quliJNc_O-k/video.html what do you think of the movie
Give me Murder on the Orient Express instead.
Uh, I would not go that far...
Regarding the psychopath angle here, I can see where something like that might have worked well in a John Le Carre novel or a good adaptation of one. But, going from the description of this film, it sounds like it was botched.
It’s sad, because the book is decent, not on the Nick Stone books level, but Red Notice was made to be a movie. They changed so many things for this adaptation and the movie is worse off for that.
Will you do a best and worst of 2020?
I will, but I'm finding it emotionally tough to look back over the last year.
Check out Ross Kemp’s Ultimate Force season 1-3 instead. The best of British action and it helps that there were army vets that advise on the series.
That's a good one, but I totaly hate how several characters were treated, though I kinda understand why
Ultimate Farce was a cringe worthy fondue starring Zippy from Rainbow. Just awful top to bottom.
What is a functional psychopath??? Never heard that term before.
That's the term McNab uses, so he has psychopathic traits, but can still function in normal society.
Ruby has the worst hair cut I’ve ever seen in this lol
It's like her hair was literally cut around a bowl, like monks...
3:39
you got B.2.0, ,that Bridge movie and maybe Six Days?.................. ok, you're right. = =
I saw Stratton in the cinema! It's no better than a TV Movie. Funny as Henry Cavill originally was going to play the lead, but dropped out five days before filming. Another similarity Red Notice shares, as Luke Evans was originally announced as the lead.
So did I, but I never got around to reviewing it.
I think McNab sounds more like the English Richard Marchincko (or Demo Dick as he was also known) as Clancy never actually served in the military and Marchinko also writes lightly fictionalized versions of some of his actual life. Also he's probably a functioning psychopath, but 'Murican Men don't GET diagnosed, YEE-HAW!
And speaking of good/bad Die Hard riffs, I'd love to see you take on "White House Down" as I really wish we'd gotten a franchise out of that rather than the dull, needless "Olympus Has Fallen."
So the family heirloom is one that was cut off an Indian woman's finger? Oh how romantic...Hey Sweety, not sure if I love you, so here is a ring I want you to wear. If we break it off, I will just get it back the way my ancestor got it in the first place.
beard suits you we bold guys need them ....snyder cut hmm pls dude
I couldn't get through get through more than 30 min of this. On a side note the new Alex Rider series is pretty decent.
Just finished watching this the other day, I felt like the film should have kept Tom Wilkinson alive as the main villain and killed Ruby Rose off earlier on, also Gerard Butler would have been a better choice for the lead.
i do wanna apologize to the world of british action
i mean you have to try very hard to make a die hard knockoff bad
also is it bad that i didn't know that "functioning psychopaths" were a thing
There was also 'The Courier' from 2019 with Olga Kurylenko which was 'Die Hard...in a car park' and is about as inspired as it sounds.
The next Bond will be Stevens. Dan Stevens.
Sam is suitable for Jaime character in outlander but definitely not in this movie. He was too pretty and weirdly buff 💪 to play such a badass agent/spy. Some people think he could replace Daniel Craig as a Bond but after watching his action movies, in my opinion he is not the right person.
I think there is enough good potential material for English SAS action movies. Just use the real historical material, instead of this 'lone wolf hero B.S '. That's been done and dusted ,
I watched the film and I was totally entertained. So my advice is to watch it and be entertained for a few hours. No need to pick it apart. Just enjoy it!
I wouldn't go so far as to call Steven "Andy McNab" Mitchell the British Chris Kyle, but the guy seems shady as hell. "Bravo Two Zero", his "true story" of what happened to him in Iraq, seems to be more fan fiction about himself, by himself, and for himself than _anything_ else.
No wonder he wrote his self-insert character in this movie as Stud McPerfect and everybody else in the S.A.S. as idiots.
I keep getting the feeling of Alan Partridge writing a spy novel.
My review in 2021
It’s a decent streaming movie so in Netflix it’s alright. 2 hr long tho and i did not like beginning part of the movie while grounded I guess felt way to clean and weird. It does get a lot better when there all in the train and from there it was good. Now this movie feel like a avg movie so def not in the must watch but if you got nothing I guess 🤷♂️
Now some slight spoiler I thought they did Our antagonist FMC weird. Everyone saying she badass and “special” but doesn’t do much beside boss people lol in the village she get shot and walks slow. Everyone telling she special and the one but ehhh I wish she did more action wise.
Near the end in the snowing Forrest I thought MC and Evil FMC we’re gonna kiss twice 😂😂 that moment there face was getting close and in the car I was like what iff hmmmm lol than I thought it was gonna be a better twist when MC tell her gf to marry him and she say …No I was gonna lose full and it honestly would’ve been a better story. All that and she say no lol cuz she know now that he more of a simple man to keep. Would’ve been better.
Also there eyes were always focus so that was cool seeing cuz there psycho or something
Oh why did they do the brother dirty like that 😔 felt sad cuz it looked like he cared and was trying his best
Who will cast Ruby Rose.. like i have the money to get a actresses lets pick Rose..
Amazig review. Let me just add my 2 cents in how bad the movie is and you didn't mention. The music. How awful the whole movie playing 'fantastic' score over action scenes. At least the Narnia moment paid off for the badly chosen music. Also, definitely bought over music libraries online. no one wrote 1 single line of music intentionally to the movie. Newbies in film understimate the importance of music.
Projector is cool but where are the bad movie beatdowns?????
I thought Lashana Lynch was still gonna be the new bond? Rlly hope they don't rose tico her like star wars did in rise
She is not the next Bond. She is gonna be the next 007 and *maybe* get a spin-off series.
But it was confirmed that the next James Bond will be a man. Bond-Producer Barbara Broccoli has stated that she doesn't like the idea of traditional male roles being recast with women.
She wouldn't be Bond as James Bond is already a character in No Time To Die. Additionally it's never been said she is or will be the next Bond. Just speculation from people who have trouble understanding her MI6 identifier is 007 as James Bond is retired (until he comes back).
@@davidjames579 Agreed. Wish people would actually read information rather than just skimming through it and going straight to ranting.
Lol Crackerjack 2 reference
the attire of the soldiers look like the FBI
🙏
Guess I should update the list of film genres us Brits suck at:
1) Children's Movies
2) Action Films
Wonder what else there is?
>Children's films
Every movie made by Aardman Studios would like to have a word.
@@jakey14344 Heh, yeah, obviously there are exceptions.
I was thinking more along the likes of Postman Pat: The Movie, Horrid Henry: The Movie, Pudsey the Dog: The Movie, and Four Kids & It.
No one every said that his books where good, there all just easy to read military airport novels.
Yeah, I call them airport paperbacks in the review.
I was watching it rn , but I couldn’t stand rose acting smug face all thru outb
read the title as sus i jus can't
Anything with Ruby Rose you know will be a barf fest.
I dont know why I actually like Ruby Rose. But fuck this movie was bad, so cringe. When she tells him to knock her out through the toilet, I lost it.
Under siege 2 ripoff
Mixed with the climax of Mission: Impossible (1996)
@@davidjames579 and Speed
Do you ever wonder with the poor quality of a lot of their films if the British film industry is actually cursed?
I think we make a lot of good ones, but this is not the kind we succeed at.
@@FilmBrain you should stick to brilliant stuff like in Bruges
Not even andy serkis could make me watch anything with that guy ruby rose in it, he is truly awful,
As an "American", I really loved this movie. It is not a Die Hard, but Bond 007, heck Yes! It has Roger Moore all over it, and even reminds me of the original The Saint series. Can't wait to see more of Moore (aka. Sam Roland Heughan).
British can't do Action?
Did you forget the James Bond films ?
They're the exception to the rule, in that they have a lot of American money involved.
The first Die Hard movie was way better then Red Notice. The action scene was horrible. I blame the director.
Even the S.A.S are Portrayed better in COD MW3 than this film.
i recently watched this movie on netflix and it was god aweful and terrible the acting the action everything
It’s really not that bad, I really enjoyed it for what it was, just silly daft nonsense. Andy Serkis knows exactly what film he’s in, hamming it up for all he’s worth. Sky really need to stop putting Noel Clarke in every single one of thier original productions though!
Considering the scandals that have been exposed about Clarke, I think Sky will definitely be cutting down his appearances from now on.
You lost me when you put Ruby Rose on the list of big stars.
Who the hell keeps hiring Ruby Rose? I would have assumed anyone looking at Batwoman saw how talentless as an actress is. And you are right, this guy's fiction is basically british Rainbow Six and just about as cliche. I had assumed even the diehard Call of Duty fans are bored of military crack teams vs terrorists by now. Btw, nice beard! :)
Maybe the crux is that nobody was looking at Batwoman. I only knew about that show due to EFAP
I think any actor can work if you cast them in the right role. I didn't mind her in 'The Meg' and I thought she was a good heavy in 'John Wick 2' because her character was silent and stoic.
If they make this generic white guy the next James Bond I'm convinced the producers just want to end the series once and for all.
Heughan's a better actor than this film makes him out to be, but I strongly suspect he won't get the part. To be fair, other than the fame, Bond's not a great part; the last few Craig movies have put me to sleep.
At least it's better than making Bond a woman, because that worked _soooo_ well for Doctor Who...
@@otaking3582 to be fair, Doctor who is a bad example there, as the gender switch didn't really do much there. The episodes I watched simply had some of the worst writing of new who, jncluding everything besides the gender focus. Scratch the Gender stuff and put Tennant, Smith or Capaldi in there and the episodes would still be fairly bad.
Better than making him a black woman... 'cause seriously, just make a new franchise for a badass female spy. Don't co-opt a working one.
Aren't all Bond's generic white guys? SH is anything but generic. Have you ever seen Outlander? Check it out! Sam as Red Jamie czcams.com/video/3nGsWiJLzxY/video.html & czcams.com/video/wzDWjK47Fxw/video.html
Most missed the message of this film. forget the gun play and the horrible acting. this was geo-political in plain sight.
Just saw this crap. So stupid!
Worst movie ever watched
