History Film / RedNotice

* ForeShadowing: There are '''many''' hints foreshadowing the big twist, serving as a RewatchBonus. So many in fact that ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' was able to do a whole montage of them on their honest trailer for the movie.

* GracefulLoser: After being defeated, [[spoiler:Booth assures Hartley and the Bishop that he does not take offence and admits he had a super fun time.]]

* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: [[spoiler:Hartley is not, and was never, a real FBI officer]].

* BlackSheep[=/=]WhiteSheep: Booth had issues with his policeman father, so he became a criminal. Hartley had issues with his criminal father, so he became a cop. [[spoiler:Until TheReveal that he actually decided to become a ''better'' criminal.]]

''Red Notice'' is a 2021 American action/heist comedy film written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, starring Creator/DwayneJohnson, Creator/RyanReynolds and Creator/GalGadot.

* LadyInRed: Sarah wears a red cutout dress for Sotto's masquerade ball, which is notably featured in most of the film's publicity. Fitting her FemmeFatale look, it's a [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless dress]] with cleavage and a FashionableAsymmetry cut to show off one of [[ShesGotLegs her legs]]. Surprisingly she can actually fight wearing it too.

* ShesGotLegs: The film doesn't miss a single opportunity to show off Sarah's legs, including during fights. Special mention goes to the scenes where she's wearing the [[LadyInRed red dress]].

* AffablyEvil: Nolan Booth is Creator/RyanReynolds portraying an art thief with a reluctance to kill, so naturally he's quite affable in the silly GentlemanThief sense, and the Bishop herself is refined and polite even when threatening people. [[spoiler:As it turns out ''all'' of the three protagonists are this in some way; even John Hartley, when he finally reveals his LongCon, is nothing but affable with Booth and tells him that he and the Bishop have come to deeply respect him.]]

* TheMeanBrit: Inspector Das has an English accent and while staunchly on the side of justice, she has Hartley detained in a freezing Russian prison without even letting him have a trial.

* LadyInRed: Sarah wears a red cutout dress for Sotto's masquerade ball, which is notably featured in most of the film's publicity. Fitting her FemmeFatale look, it's a [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless dress]] with AbsoluteCleavage and a FashionableAsymmetry cut to show off one of [[ShesGotLegs her legs]]. Surprisingly she can actually fight wearing it too.

** The Bishop is an often neglected Chess piece. It's not as straightforward as the Rook, not as powerful as the Queen, and doesn't possess unique and unconventional traits like the Knight, but a strategically used Bishop becomes a major unseen threat that will turn the tides in an instant,[[spoiler: just like Hartley]].

* SamusIsAGirl: There is no explicit suggestion that the Bishop is a woman until Sarah gets a DramaticUnmask while stealing the first egg about twenty minuts into the movie. [[spoiler:Then downplayed when it turns out to be a CollectiveIdentity shared by a man and a woman.]]

* BlackSheep\WhiteSheep: Booth had issues with his policeman father, so he became a criminal. Hartley had issues with his criminal father, so he became a cop. [[spoiler:Until TheReveal that he actually decided to become a ''better'' criminal.]]

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:'''EVERYONE'''. Hartley is double-crossing Booth from the start. Hartley has been double-crossing Booth since before ever having ''met'' him]].

* LadyInRed: Sarah wears a red cutout dress for Sotto's masquerade ball, which is notably featured in most of the film's publicity. Fitting her FemmeFatale look it's [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless dress]] with AbsoluteCleavage and a FashionableAsymmetry cut to show off one of [[ShesGotLegs her legs]]. Surprisingly she can actually fight wearing it too.

* AsHimself: One of the funniest examples of this trope. [[spoiler:Music/EdSheeran has a cameo as himself...where his song number gets interrupted and he then [[TooDumbToLive attempts to fight off]] Interpol agents with a guitar all while screaming that he was in ''Series/GameOfThrones''.]]

* LargeHam: Gal Gadot is clearly having an absolute blast chewing the scenery as the villain, as Sarah is the one of the most over-the-top characters in the film.

* PoisonedDrinkDrop: After successfully getting information from Nolan Booth as to the whereabouts of Cleopatra’s third egg is, Sarah Black a.k.a The Bishop and arms dealer Sotto Voce toast with champagne. Voce downs his while Black holds onto hers. Voce then collapses, shattering his flute in the process. As it turned out, Black drugged the champagne, double crossing Voce.

* ShesGotLegs: The film doesn't miss a single opportunity to show off Sarah's legs, including during fights. Special mention goes to the scenes where she's wearing the red dress.

* VillainProtagonist: Booth. [[spoiler:Hartley, too, as it turns out]].

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Near the end, Booth has the [[spoiler:third egg]] with him, but Hartley nowhere in sight. He considers leaving without Hartley, but changes his mind and wades back into the water, calling for him.
* XanatosGambit: The Bishop's plan is simple: corner Booth to coerce him into reveal the location of the third egg, or follow him as he steals it and then take the egg from him. There is a bit of a GambitRoulette, as it requires Booth to be actually able to escape the tough spots he is put in and hope he actually can get the third egg, but those are unavoidable [[spoiler: and the Bishop is revealed to have been actually tipping the scales all along.]] There is also a third option where Booth trusts Hartley and reveals the location of the third egg to him, after which the Bishop can ditch him and retrieve the egg.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Booth has a few suggestive comments directed at Hartley, snarking about their "marriage of convenience" and whispering that he must love him when he doesn't arrest him for Das.
