SAS operator, Tom Buckingham (Sam Heughan), who was at the "arrest" later takes his girlfriend, Dr. Grace manages to escape before SAS operatives or Clements can get to her. SAS plans the raid and kills many of Black Swan's operatives including Olivia (Caroline Boulton). William and Grace knew that SAS was going to move on them, but William refused to vacate the UK, his home. He secretly ordered Clements to kill William on the scene instead of arresting to cover up the link. Atwood knew that if William takes the stand he will mention Clements and then the road leads straight to Atwood. It turned out Prime Minister Atwood (Ray Panthaki) was behind Clements. The International Criminal Court demanded that the UK extradite the accused to the Hague to stand trial, because they live in North London. Their atrocities were secretly filmed by a little girl who led them to receive red notices and they were accused of crimes against humanity. Grace makes the decision to kill all the men and boys and leave the women to spread the fear. Clements offers money to the villagers to vacate the village, but when they resist, a massacre ensues.

The best one can say for the cast is I hope their checks cleared.Black Swans, a family-owned private military company led by American citizens William Lewis (Tom Wilkinson) and his adult children Grace (Ruby Rose) and Oliver (Owain Yeoman). It’s a messy blood-bath with a “Die Hard” sequel death-count, no real heroes and no one to root for. “I’m still going,” he purrs to a captive. “I save them.”Īndy Serkis plays a ruthless SAS leader who knows “politicians come and go,” that he’s the only constant. “He takes lives for a living,” she cracks. As is, “How many people have you killed?”Ī favorite moment? Sophie instantly over-shares with a stranger the next seat over, pre-attack. “We’re a lot alike,” is a given, something the villainess is sure to say to Tom. The train attack details are interesting enough, if you’ve ever wondered how somebody might attempt something like that (surely some groups have given it a lot of thought).īut the action beats are half-hearted, the plot “twists” unworthy of that label and situations and dialogue ludicrous on an English-as-Second-Language level. He’s armed and trained,” the slaughter begins, with passengers murdered left and right as if all on board realize this is a suicide mission. Before Grace, who sheds the clever disguise that got her on board, can say “There’s a player in the battle space. How’ll the mismatched couple travel? Train, of course.

Wilkinson runs the Black Swans as a family business. The pithy “Die Hard Lite” punchlines don’t help. It’s no wonder Netflix changed the title to “Rise of the Black Swan” when they got it. A terrible script renders respectable actors ( Tom Wilkinson, Andy Serkis) terrible, and limited “action” stars ( Ruby Rose) unwatchably awful. “ SAS: Red Notice” is bad by design, stupid in execution and soulless in every important and unimportant way. It prematurely climaxes with an attack on a Eurostar Chunnel train, passengers popped without pity by smirking “contractor” villains.Īnd at every turn, mercs and the military folk commissioned via “Red Notice” to bring them down - by the same British government that hired the Black Swan “contractors” in the first place - make wisecracks and “switch off” to get on with their lives.
