Review by someweare

The trailer for this made it look like some good ol' escapist fun, and in the beginning it is. Things get progressively stupid from there. It's filled to the brim with action but it's all too familiar with no unique twists. My biggest problem with this whole movie is that it just feels like I'm watching a video game, except most video games nowadays have better stories than this. The only reason I wouldn't just give it a one-star rating is because of the actors. I really like Joey King, a lot. Honestly, her performance here is the only thing that kept me watching this to the end. Otherwise, I would've shut it off halfway through. A lot of the supporting cast here is also pretty good, too, despite the horrendously awful script they have to work with. I feel like in order for this to have work, they should've leaned far more heavily into the humor. But it doesn't really seem to know what it wants to be: an action flick with some humor or a comedy movie with a LOT of action. All in all, you can watch it if you have nothing else to do but I wouldn't waste my time on it otherwise.
