The action comedy, which reteams filmmaker Jake Kasdan with his Jumanji leading man Dwayne Johnson, follows the latter as Callum Drift, the head of North Pole security, who is ready to retire just as Simmons’ Santa — code name: Red One — is kidnapped ...

The most important thing I can tell you about Jake Kasdan's "Red One" is that yes, it's a real film starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans as a mismatched action movie odd couple rescuing a kidnapped Santa Claus, and not a "Saturday Night Live" parody.

Lucy Liu and J.K. Simmons also star in Jake Kasdan's action fantasy about an elaborate plot to kidnap Santa Claus and hijack his reindeer for nefarious purposes.

I’m not sure that a Hollywood movie has ever kicked off the season with less real Christmas spirit than "Red One."

The Rock gets knocked silly by monsters and murderous snowmen in his bid to save Santa Claus in a festive film devoid of Christmas cheer 2/5 stars Christmas with The Rock is not nearly as much fun as one would hope.
