When I saw the first trailer for Red One, I will admit I wasn't too sure what to expect. Christmas & action movies aren't exactly a natural fit, though a few have succeeded: Die Hard takes place at a Christmas party, but isn't really about Christmas, and Violent Night stars Santa Claus, but really is violent, though entertaining. Red One is one wild and crazy ride of a movie, with lots of mythological Christmas characters and a fun story. I haven't laughed that much in ages.
If you're still on the fence, check out this behind the scenes glimpse of the two main characters: Callum Drift and Jack O'Malley.
And here are the main characters. As you can see, there are quite a few Christmas characters you don't see too often, such as Gryla and Krampus.
Dwayne Johnson as Callum Drift, commander of ELF (Enforcement Logistics and Fortification)
Chris Evans as Jack O'Malley, bounty hunter, gambler, and Level 4 Naughty Lister
J.K. Simmons as Nick, Santa Claus
Bonnie Hunt as Mrs. Claus
Reinaldo Faberlle as ELF Agent Garcia
Lucy Liu as Zoe Harlow, Director of MORA
Kiernan Shipka as Gryla, the Winter Witch
Kristofer Hivju as Krampus, Dark Lord of Winter
Red One is available now on Amazon Prime.
And while it's definitely not for kids, it's a fun addition to my Christmas movie list.
