Between this and _Cherry_, it’s becoming more and more clear that the MCU’s best director is called Kevin Feige.
Netflix clearly spent a lot of money on this, you can feel the price of your subscription going up with every new set piece that’s introduced, but the end results are still unforgivingly bland and generic nonetheless.
It’s their attempt to compete with Bond, Bourne or Mission Impossible, but if anything this feels like a poser imitation of those superior blockbuster franchises.
The Russos are clearly trying to recapture that same tone and spark from their _Captain America: The Winter Soldier_ days, but they end up making something that’s more akin to the quality of _Red Notice_.
In terms of directing they kinda got outdone by their own second unit director with his Netflix action flick, as I’d argue that _Extraction_ is a marginally better film than this.
The action’s poorly done and cheaply put together, lots of annoying editing, corny dialogue, distracting CGI, boring visuals and music; not a lot to recommend about this one.
The acting’s fine, but I have absolutely no idea why an extremely picky actor like Ryan Gosling chose this script in the first place.

@jordyep I went to see this at the cinema and it looked like it was shot with an iPhone. Can't believe it cost $200m. De Armas is its only saving grace. I'm actually mad about how bad this is.

Having read every single one the VERY first clip I saw a long time ago showed me there was no way I was going to waste my time with this. Just as I read all Jack Reacher and Mitch Rapp books and disliked those movies highly also. Not that I expect them to be like the books but they just stink as standalone movies also

@kieranu Something is wrong with the screening you saw if it looked like it was shot with an iPhone. Watching on Netflix 4K it is crisp, and you'll notice no one else is complaining about picture quality.

@keldian Well, that’s because most people are too busy shutting their brains off when watching this

@jordyep No, it's because there's literally nothing wrong with the filming quality.

@jordyep Maybe you should get off of your high horse and be a director yourself, since you are so smart or just go back watching your favourite docuseries about the geniuses of the world while listening to some classical music.

@balazs955 I don’t know what gave you the impression that I’m some elitist piece of shit, but you certainly made me laugh. Also, don’t use the whole ‘you do it if you know so well’ argument, that’s just stupid and contrived at this point

@jordyep Your 3 paragraphs of undeserved bashing of the movie. What argument should I use then? "If you don't like it don't watch it"? That is even stupider.

@balazs955 The only thing that’s stupid is to try and invalidate other people’s opinion. Maybe just say nothing if you don’t have anything useful to add? Besides, it’s not like I wrote a massive hot take, it was generally poorly received by critics and audiences.
