Motorista de Fuga

Criminal at the age of 15, Edie has had a turbulent life.. but she got out. In a lapse of judgment, she visits her ex and becomes tangled into doing one more of those "do or die" kind of jobs.

Watched for Samara Weaving's charming performance (as always), but was surprised with a very competent script. It has a lot of setup, and the payoff isn't that grand.. but it is mostly about her character arc and it is satisfying to watch. It is simple and efficient.

Her "ex" character is awful, and unlikeable.. but the actor delivers exactly what is expected of him. Was also a bit surprised at Jermaine Fowler's performance.

I would recommend it every time (as a less flashy Baby Driver), but know that it probably would not work without the leading actress. She's just good.

Well acted, witty, fast-paced. Exactly what we needed for a Saturday night in. I was actually quite impressed considering hopes were low based on the ratings and it had my preconceived notions to overcome. Now I wonder if I would've scored it higher had I not let keyboard warriors into my head. I need five more characters for this review to be complete. Done.

I just finished "Eenie Meanie" and I'm left wondering what the point was. The film's script is so incredibly weak that it makes the entire experience feel ponderous and slow. The dialogue is unnatural and tries way too hard to be witty, which just comes off as forced and cringeworthy. I was really looking forward to this, especially after seeing Samara Weaving in the trailer, who is usually amazing. But even she can't save the central relationship between the main character, Edie, and her ex-boyfriend. He's so utterly unlikable and a walking liability that it's impossible to believe why she would go to such lengths for him. It's frustrating to watch and completely undermines her strength.

Is it worth watching? Not really. It's a classic case of a film that has a decent cast and a tired premise, but gets held back by its flimsy plot and sluggish pace.

This move is "Meh". It suffered from poor writing and not knowing what it was trying to be. Samara Weaving saved this movie from being tossed in the trash. They had Andy Garcia, & Steve Zahn, & failed to use them. The John (Her Blindspot) character was horrible.

Maybe I'm missing something, or fell asleep and didn't realize it, or just don't get the joke they were telling. So, I'm going to scour the review sights, and put up an episode of "Lunchbreak Reviews" on this! Let me know if you agree, disagree, or want to talk about it on the podcast!

Samara is on fire 🔥 A great watch with some unexpected moments that made me choke on my snacks. It has everything - fast packed action, unfolding drama and a love story all rolled into one. Great acting from the leads and believable driving skills. I always hate movies that feature unrealistic moves to pull off but this came across as entirely doable. Comedic in all the right places - 10/
