SAS: Red Notice Review

Tom Buckingham (SAM HEUGHAN), a special forces operator, is taking Dr. Sophie Hart from London to Paris to propose. When their train is deep inside the Channel Tunnel, Grace Lewis (RUBY ROSE) and her team of heavily armed war criminals seize the train and hold hundreds of passengers hostage. Grace threatens to expose the British governments darkest secrets and blow up the Channel Tunnel if her ransom demands are not met.

Based on the best-selling novel by former SAS operator Andy McNab, SAS: RED NOTICE is a provocative and authentic portrayal of an emergency response operation and the singular mindset Tom needs to survive.

What Is The Name Of The New Action-Packed Thriller From The Andy Mcnab Novel Now Streaming On Sky In The Uk?

A team of mercenaries-cum-terrorists hijacks a train in the middle of the Channel Tunnel between England and France in SAS: Red Notice, a new action-packed thriller from the Andy McNab novel now streaming on Sky in the UK. Only problem for the terrorists: they didn’t count on ace SAS counter-terrorism officer Tom Buckingham (Outlander’s Sam Heughan) being aboard the train, coincidentally on his way to Paris with girlfriend Sophie (Ant Man and the Wasp’s Hannah John-Kamen) to pop the question. Only problem for us: it takes SAS: Red Notice an entire first act full of backstory, intrigue, and UK politics to get to the action.

The Swans were hired by British gas company Britgaz (not to be confused with real-life company British Gas), and by extension the UK Prime Minister, to incinerate a Georgian village and ensure the installation of their new gas pipeline goes smoothly. But when cell phone video of the mercenary rampage goes viral, the Black Swans are branded terrorists and the titular Red Notice is issued, leading to a nationwide manhunt when Grace and company escape the clutches of SAS authorities. There’s about four levels of political intrigue going on behind the scenes, from the Prime Minister (Ray Panthaki) to Britgaz rep and mercenary go-between George Clements (Andy Serkis), through SAS Major Bisset (Noel Clarke), and down to SAS officers Declan Smith (Tom Hopper, Dickon Tarly on Game of Thrones) and his buddy Tom.

For about an hour in the midsection, SAS: Red Notice hits all the right notes. For much of the runtime, SAS: Red Notice comes across as an authentic actioner. Former soldier and self-described psychopath McNab is something like the UK’s Tom Clancy, and his story, adapted by Laurence Malkin, feels more credible than most films in the genre.

Climactic scenes between the two almost reach a profound little moment, but ultimately leave a bad taste in your mouth. Climactic scenes between Heughan and John-Kamen are a total maudlin bust, and even some great drone footage of Paris and Mallorca can’t save them.

Who Directed Sas: Rise Of The Black Swan?

SAS: Rise of the Black Swan or SAS: Red Notice as it’s referred to in some places will be making its SVOD debut on Netflix US on August 27th, 2021. Headlined by Ruby Rose, this British action thriller is about a small army of criminals who are attempting their biggest heist yet with a train that travels deep beneath the English Channel that connects England and France. Alongside Rose stars Sam Heughan (Outlander), Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings), Hannah John-Kamen (Killjoys), Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy), and Noel Clarke (Doctor Who).

This movie is one of those movies that has many companies involved therefore its hard to know exactly who owns it. 8 production companies were involved (at least according to IMDb PRO) with the movie with multiple distributors on listed too. It first debuted on Sky in the United Kingdom back in March 2021 but has since been released on disc and digital in the US.

With just over 6,500 reviews on IMDb, the movie sits at 4.9. Many have said the writing doesn’t do the original material justice with many criticizing both the performances and script. Critics also were lukewarm to the movie with a 55% on RottenTomatoes.

Who Did Sam Heughan Portray In Sas: Red Notice?

Perhaps something of an unofficial audition for the next post on the 007 roster – or maybe that’s second audition, given he was a name suggested around the same time as Daniel Craig secured the role – Sam Heughan does his best secret agent impression in SAS: Red Notice, a disposable but supremely entertaining actioner that can best be summed up as “Die Hard in a tunnel”. Hoping for a momentary break from his special forces work, Heughan’s Tom Buckingham (perhaps the most British name put to screen) plans to propose to his long-suffering girlfriend, kindly doctor Sophie (Hannah John-Kramen), in Paris. Given that prior to their boarding of the train to Paris we are aware of the mercenary collective Black Swans, led by the cold-blooded Grace (Ruby Rose), also boarding for their own terrorist-leading intentions, it’s only a matter of extended minutes before Laurence Malkin‘s standard script dedicates itself wholly to an action temperament that, whilst not entirely original, remains suitably investing.

Grace, like any genre villain, demands a ransom, and should that not be met she intends there to be mass casualties, so it’s lucky for the remaining passengers that trigger-happy Tom and doctor Sophie are on-board to help. Whilst SAS: Red Notice attempts to be a little more character-driven in its narrative, director Magnus Martens (TV’s Fear the Walking Dead) ultimately settles on an action mentality to drive the film forward. It’s commendable though that characters such as Rose’s Grace and Andy Serkis‘s counter-terrorism leader Clements straddle the line of what constitutes good and evil, but when the camera seems to overly delight in Heughan’s comfort of hand-to-hand combat and gun control, it becomes evident where this film’s focus truly sits.

It’s occasionally messy and never subtle, but aesthetically it’s deliriously pleasurable and far better than it has any right to be. THREE STARS (OUT OF FIVE) SAS: Red Notice will be available in North America on demand and digital from March 16th, 2021. An Australian release is yet to be determined.
