Red One
Dwayne Johnson | Chris Evans | Liu Yifei | J.K. Simmons
Jaume Collet-Serra directs this holiday action-comedy where a team of mercenaries must rescue Santa Claus (Evans) after he’s kidnapped by a shadowy organization planning to destroy Christmas forever.
Johnson brings his usual charm and comedic timing, playing Jack O’Malley — a cynical agent dragged into a magical crisis. Evans steals the show with a surprisingly sly and sarcastic take on Santa, breaking away from traditional portrayals.
Liu Yifei plays an elite fighter with hidden ties to the North Pole, delivering solid action and emotional depth. Simmons rounds out the cast as a gruff elf-commander.
Though formulaic at times, the film blends fantasy, family themes, and gritty action in a way that feels fresh for the genre.
Santa’s in trouble — and the world needs saving.
