Content warning: Major spoilers for Red Notice are discussed in this article.

Netflix's latest film, Red Notice, is the streaming service's biggest and most expensive production so far, starring major celebrities Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. The film hit the platform in mid-November, quickly becoming Netflix's biggest opening debut for any of its original movies.

With a cast as established as this one, it is hard not to like the characters they portray, though they seem to conform to the type of role each actor usually plays. Even so, certain characters in the film prove to be more likable than others.

Sotto Voce

Chris Diamantopoulos, whom fans may remember as Brian, the hated boom mic man from The Office, plays over-the-top villain Sotto Voce, who possesses the second egg of Cleopatra. Believing himself to be allied with the Bishop (Gal Gadot), he lets down his guard and quickly has his prize stolen from him.

Sotto Voce is as insane as he is sadistic. After nearly being strangled to death by his own father, Voce developed a sick penchant for strangling others to death by hand. His lunacy knows no bounds, as he aggressively attempts to kill Hartley and Booth (Ryan Reynolds) after Bishop gets away with his egg. Needless to say, he is not a particularly kind man.

Director Gallo

Director Gallo, played by Italian actor Vincenzo Amato, is introduced in the first scene of Red Notice, where he meets Dwayne Johnson's Agent John Hartley. He is the director of the art museum in Rome and is quite proud of the security system that his establishment has in place--until it is quickly revealed that the famous first egg of Cleopatra has been stolen from under his nose.

Despite only appearing in one scene of the film, Gallo does not come off as a particularly pleasant man. He is less than accommodating with Interpol when they arrive with intel that the egg might be stolen, and grows rather boastful when he believes he's been proven correct in the matter of the egg. Needless to say, his pride didn't last long thereafter.

Ed Sheeran

Red Notice Ed Sheeran Cameo

Making a surprise cameo toward the end of the film is pop singer Ed Sheeran, playing himself. He shows up at the wedding of a wealthy Egyptian businessman's daughter, who is named after the ancient queen Cleopatra. After she is gifted the three golden eggs, Sheeran appears, singing a few lines from his famous song, "Perfect."

Though Sheeran is a generally likable celebrity, his role in this film appears to lean into any "pop star arrogance" that he may have, as he personally attempts to fight off a squad of Interpol agents when they swarm the party. He even boasts about his infamous Game of Thrones cameo as he is dragged off and arrested.

Tambwe

Ivan Mbakop as Tambwe in Red Notice

Tambwe is Nolan Booth's contact and good friend, who hooks Booth and Hartley up with a private jet to get them to Valencia in time for Sotto Voce's masquerade party, where they plan to steal the second egg of Cleopatra. Played by Ivan Mbakop, he makes an impression on the viewer in his singular scene within the movie.

Though Tambwe only has a mere few seconds of screentime, he clearly has a long and potentially quite interesting history with Booth and seems more than happy to be providing a service for a friend. It is Tambwe's penchant for juice boxes that makes him all the more likable, as he even takes away juice box privileges from Agent Hartley after learning that he is a cop.

Urvashi Das

Ritu Arya's Interpol Inspector Urvashi Das is constantly on the tail of Booth and Hartley after they escape the Russian prison that she put them in during the first act of the film. The only character in the film that is fully on the side of the law, she does her best to bring in the cons that have so often eluded her grasp.

Because the audience is following the criminal characters, it can be easy to forget that Das is actually the good guy in the film. Throughout the events of the movie, all she ever attempts to do is her job, and she goes to great lengths to do it, proving to also be one of the bravest characters in Red Notice. In the end, she can't overcome the wiles of the three main cons, but there is no doubt that she did her very best in trying.

John Hartley

Pro wrestler turned big-time actor Dwayne Johnson leads this film with all the tough-guy energy that fans have come to expect from his characters. He is stoic and smart-mouthed (though not quite to the same extent as his partner, Nolan Booth), making him the perfect foil to Gadot's conniving villain, the Bishop.

Playing FBI Agent John Hartley, Johnson is inherently likable, though something seems off about the character from the beginning of the film. Eventually, it is revealed that Hartley is actually partnered with the Bishop, both romantically and professionally. It is only after this twist reveal that Johnson finally lowers his guard and lets loose his signature charm.

The Bishop

Gal Gadot in Red Notice

One of the highlights of the film is Gal Gadot's scheming villain, the Bishop. She is the most wanted art thief in the world, and for good reason. She constantly outwits the competition, remaining several steps ahead of every other character in the film, and does all this with a gleam in her eye that proclaims that she is having the time of her life.

While Red Notice may not ever be considered one of Gal Gadot's very best films, the actress certainly lends to the likeability of her character therein. Despite her sinister schemes and general selfishness, it is difficult not to be amused by her exploits. In the end, even her archrival Nolan Booth can't resist admitting her charisma in forging an alliance with her.

Nolan Booth

Ryan Reynolds as Nolan Booth in Red Notice

Ryan Reynolds is nothing if not likable. There is simply something inherently delightful about his overly sarcastic and self-aware characters. Nolan Booth, the world's second most wanted art thief, is no different from the wealth of Reynolds's characters that one can't help but enjoy watching.

Booth initially comes off as an overly confident and snarky con who is only in it for fame and money. In the end, however, he proves to have a heart of gold, even putting the life of his newfound friend above the prize that he had spent countless hours searching for. By the film's conclusion, the viewer can't help but identify most with Booth out of all the characters, transitioning him into the true hero of the story.
