2/10
Garbage movie, basically
20 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The script is really bad.

The characters do stupid, illogical things.

The female lead quickly becomes irritating. I don't know why so many movies, when trying to portray a sassy, fearless, determined, or feisty woman, make her so annoying.

There's lots of action. The music during action sequences was also annoying.

The big plot twist at the end was no surprised at all. I mean come on, it was obvious from the start, and it became more and more obvious, the more we learned.

SPOILERS AHEAD

During the entire movie, I felt irritated and wondered why nobody was mentioning the possibility that he could have faked his own death, again. He already did it once, he could very well have done it again. The FBI agent, whose name I forgot, even though the movie ended five minutes ago (!!! This says a lot about how memorable this movie is) witnessed his death, but from far away, the bullets could have been blanks, and no body, just one little finger? Oh come on. And nobody wonders even once, "hey, maybe he faked his death again and is behind all this?" I hate it when scripts make the characters utterly stupid just for plot purposes.

The one thing that did come to a surprise to me is how she shoots him at the end, Yes he had a gun but in that moment he wasn't particularly threatening, not like he was about to shoot her or anything. It felt like she just shot him in cold blood. It didn't feel justified and I was shocked. US American movies often show "good guys" getting away with murder, while "bad guys" often end up dying. Not cool.

I liked that they end up together in the end. That's probably the only thing I liked about the movie.

I wasn't expecting much but even with such low expectations, I was disappointed anyway. Really low-level movie. Watch only if you have time to kill and have already watched everything else.
