Gary Javitch

Weird, fascinating, and addictive. I was compelled to watch until the bitter conclusion to discover if anyone would emerge from the chaos alive. (Spoiler alert: All but one died!)

Bad writing, bad plot with wired characters…

This movie has more twists and turns than a pretzel! And they’re all entertaining and surprising. The dialogue is well-crafted, sparking a chemistry between the main actors in ways warm, humorous and occasionally quite touching. The pièce de résistance: the acting. Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadol reveal a broad range of emotions that had me feeling “man-crushes” for the guys and infectious infatuation for the former Wonder(ful) Woman. It was joyous escapism!

Very clever in showing the movie in reverse segments. But in the initial segment, it remains unclear to me the purpose of the two men in the scene. And The fat man in that scene — is he naked?
