Not only does this film come across as a poor man’s Die Hard, it is also a poor man’s Under Siege 2, which is… quite something.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 12, 2022

A glossy, testosterone-filled ride that will pass an evening for those who love their action big and blunt. It's unlikely to guarantee Heughans casting as the world's greatest secret agent, but it won't do him any harm either.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2022

Sam Heughan is a strong action hero fighting terrorists on a train.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 20, 2021

While not a travesty by any means, this premise has been done before and executed better.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 4, 2021

This was a premise that just needed to lean in on its action hero DNA roots harder instead of trying to make a weak thinking man's spy thriller.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 4, 2021

SAS: Red Notice is so close to being fun that it's a real shame to see it let down by a lousy script, lazy directing and enough army cliches to fill a dozen Call Of Duty cutscenes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 15, 2021

As a wannabe series or franchise-starter - McNab has two other books ready for adaptation - SAS: Red Notice will leave even the most diehard action fans feeling left out.

| Apr 15, 2021

The action is second-rate, and Ruby Rose is an over-the-top villain, but it's amusing to see the film pander to America's idea of Britain: the hero is called Tom Buckingham and owns a stately home.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 15, 2021

It's familiar territory, and while tried and tested, the film does lack a sense of originality.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2021

Undoubtedly, there's an audience for this kind of film - there's plenty of them - but all SAS: Red Notice offers is the routine, the predictable and the stereotypical.

| Apr 15, 2021

While the direction by Magnus Martens is standard for this sort of action film, it's the script adapted from ex-SAS officer-turned-author Andy McNab's book that is surprisingly character-driven.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2021

The plot is both simple and overcomplicated, but lots of not always well explained detail cannot hide its derivative nature.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2021

McNab writes pacy, exciting thrillers that offer perfect ammunition for screen adaptations but, in this instance, someone has loaded blanks.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2021

This isn't the most memorable film, but it's a competent actioner that will satisfy anyone who enjoys gritty stories in which one good man goes up against a group of ruthless, well-prepared bad guys.

| Mar 25, 2021

There's no doubt that the film is a little flabby and overlong, but it's never anything other than supremely watchable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 15, 2021

It's occasionally messy and never subtle, but aesthetically it's deliriously pleasurable and far better than it has any right to be.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2021

A winner strictly in the action department, but there is also admiration to be found in the messy behavior of its characters. Sam Heughan and Ruby Rose impress both verbally and physically

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2021

SAS: Red Notice doesn't really know how to articulate the things it wants to say, but if you just look at it as a straight-up action jam you'll have a fun enough time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2021

With action scenes as inept as the plot is illogical, the film does Heughan no favours.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 12, 2021

It's all great fun - and very Die Hard in a train tunnel, with plenty of action and the odd twist to sprinkle a little salt on the visual popcorn.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 11, 2021
