The Hollywood ReporterStory by David Rooney

Santa's kidnapped, Christmas is in jeopardy, and Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans must team up to save the day in this high-tech, overblown holiday adventure.

- Chris Evans plays a greedy, opportunistic hacker-for-hire who gets roped into rescuing Santa, codenamed 'Red One', from a sinister abduction plot.
- The film is stuffed with mythology, magic, and advanced technology, but reviewers say it's a soulless, CG-heavy bore that lacks the infectious holiday spirit it's desperately trying to capture.
