Red Notice
Red Notice is a 2021 American action comedy film written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber starring Dwayne Johnson alongside Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot and Ritu Arya. It marks the third collaboration between Thurber and Johnson, following Central Intelligence (2016) and Skyscraper (2018). In the film, an FBI agent reluctantly teams up with a renowned art thief in order to catch an even more notorious thief. Originally planned for release by Universal Pictures, the film was acquired by Netflix for distribution. It began a limited theatrical release on November 5, 2021, before digitally streaming on the platform on November 12, 2021. It received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics for its plot and screenwriting, though the performances (particularly Johnson and Reynolds), action sequences and humor were praised. Netflix claims the film became the most-watched film in its debut weekend, as well as the most-watched film within 28 days of release on the platform on Netflix. It also became the 5th most-streamed movie title of 2021. Two sequels are in development and will be filmed back-to-back with Johnson, Reynolds, Gadot, and Thurber expected to return.
[narrator] Though many know the tragic love story of Antony and Cleopatra, the wayward Roman general who fell madly in love with the enchanting Egyptian queen, both of them taking their lives rather than face a world without each other, few know the secret story of the most sought-after prize and unsolved puzzle of their time. The mystery of Cleopatra's third egg. On their wedding day, as a symbol of his undying devotion, Mark Antony presented Cleopatra with three bejeweled eggs, each one more exquisite than the last. For centuries, these eggs were thought to be nothing more than myth, rumor. But then, in 1907, just outside of Cairo, a local farmer unearthed two of them. Some say the third egg was never found. Others claim it was discovered, but just as quickly lost, never to be seen again. Join us as we explore that very question. What happened to Cleopatra's lost egg? Who may hold it in their possession? And most importantly, will we ever see the day in which all three eggs are reunited for the first time in over 2,000 years? Cleopatra's first egg is on display for all to see at the world-famous Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. The second egg has been sold at auction numerous times and currently is held in a private collection. [dramatic music playing]

-[man in English] Impossible. -I'm not asking. You need to shut the museum down, evacuate your visitors, and seal all ingress and egress points immediately. And Interpol has the authority to compel me to do so? Don't test me, Director. You should listen to her. And who are you? Her bodyguard? This is Special Agent John Hartley of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He's a consulting profiler who specializes in art crime.

My dear, The Bishop is nothing more than a boogeyman story in the art world. It's a catch-all concept. It's someone to blame when you and your friends in law enforcement are too incompetent to solve the case. Listen to me, unless we stop it, that egg is gonna be stolen today. In fact, it may already be gone.
