Ghosteado

Ghosted wrestles with its tone as it decides whether it's a goofy rom-com or a more serious spy thriller. While very much in the vein of Knight and Day or The Killers, Ghosted doesn't stay committed to comedy throughout. The jokes come and go, with Chris Evans taking most of the comedy side and Ana de Armas taking most of the action. The tone might be conflicted, but the fun never stops. Solid action sequences, car chases, exotic locations, and elegant gowns and suits - Ghosted has all the essential elements of a classic spy film. The jokes land better than The Gray Man's quips, and the action is better than Red Notice's set pieces giving Ghosted a slight edge over its streaming adventure competition. It's a flawed movie for certain, with an out-of-place soundtrack and identity crisis, but what it does well makes it interesting enough for a watch and possibly even a sequel. ...maybe.

Captain Needy finally meets his dream girl, sleeps with her, but then he gets ghosted.

It's all fine and dandy up until this point. The chemistry between the two leads, Chris Evans and Ana De Armas, who always steals every scene she is in, is fantastic and minor characters like Needy's brutally honest sister, add spark to what could have been a great mystery thriller.

Needy then becomes Captain Stalker when he decides to follow Dream Girl's trail all the way to London after having left dozen of unanswered messages, like only a loser/very romantic guy (take your pick) would do.

Quickly, like the screenwriter just gave up and handed the whole thing to a stuntmovie coordinator, the whole affair then turns into an action spectacle where everyone wants the content in a suitcase. How original.

There's a great action setpiece involving a bus, but whenever I see movies where women throw around men who are three times their own weight and size and in life threatening situations are either cracking jokes or discussing with their fellow in arms, I just zone out and wonder if I am watching one of those gamevideo walkthroughs set on God mode.

This could have, and should have, been so much better.

All these 1s and 2s are ridiculous. I gave it an 8 rating just to bring the average up, because I'd hate for anyone to miss out on the fun due to the poor average rating. This movie was just fun, silly, and over the top action. I think a lot of people take movie watching way too seriously. But sometimes you just want to watch something that doesn't challenge your mind in any way, but just provides relaxation and fun.

I had no expectations of a great film, just the hope of entertainment, and that's exactly what I got. The cast was perfect, the story was formulaic but fun, and the whole thing was like an amusement park ride.

Ghosted, starring Ana de Armas and Chris Evans is pretty much what you think it is. Nothing more, nothing less. It's basic, fun, silly and over the top

I was pleasantly surprised that it started pretty quick and kept up a good pace throughout the movie. The two leads have great chemistry and scenes don't feel too forced for the most part which is good.

This kind of story is so recycled it could probably save climate change by now. Nonetheless, it kinda works no matter how absurd and cliche it is.

I feel like everyone should know what they're getting into with this movie so just take it for what it is and you'll find it entertaining enough.

Overall, 6/10 - It's cliche and doesn't try to be anything else. Action is decent enough with over the top scenes sprinkled throughout. And Ana and Chris bounce off each other well enough for people to have a bit of mindless fun with this movie.

This movie is fun and enjoyable. Classic spy story of bad guy and even worse bad guy want a bad device and will kill all those that get in the way, with a twist on the traditional roles of our main characters. Ghosted gives us everything, love, action, and comedy with a smattering of cameos that are sure to put a smile on your face. Now yes, there are obviously more than a few unbelievable sequences that many action movies have, but overall it works. The chemistry between our main characters is obvious and I love their back and forth with one another. Both Chris and Ana are perfect in their roles and honestly I wouldn't be mad if there was a sequel.
