“SAS: Red Notice” is an action-packed British thriller about criminals who hijack the Channel Tunnel (Chunnel) train and hold the passengers hostage under the English Channel. Norwegan director Magnus Martens ran a tight ship, with nary a dull moment in the 123 minutes of screen time.
The two principal actors are outstanding in their respective roles. Sam Heughan takes a break from his famous “Outlander” tv character Jamie Fraser to play the protagonist Tom Buckingham, who is in charge of the rescue attempt. Ruby Rose is positively diabolical as the antagonist who puts innocent lives in danger.
Other cast members include Andy Serkis, Tom Wilkinson, Noel Clarke, Hannah John-Kamen, Anne Reid, Tom Hopper, Owain Yoeman, Dylan Smith. Laurence Malkin penned the superb screenplay adapted from the 2012 novel of the same name by Andy McNab.
This very watchable independently produced movie “SAS: Red Notice” was a flop at the box office, a victim of the corona virus pandemic.
