Terrible writing - characters were one dimensional and even cringey. The quirky killer couple did not fit with the rest of the show and seemed like a desperate attempt to rip off a Killing Eve vibe. It attempts to be funny, attempts to be dramatic, attempts to be quirky/cool - and achieves absolutely none of that. Could have been a 3 episode series but dragged on for 8 episodes. Don’t waste your time. Terrible, just terrible.

I’m not sure why there are so many 5 star reviews for this steaming turd of a movie but it compelled me to offer an alternative view. This is a VERY ordinary movie - nothing like what the other reviews are suggesting…ok it’s not 1 star bad but it’s close. Ryan Reynolds is insufferable as the exact same Ryan Reynolds character he’s done except each time it’s getting less and less funny. His quips don’t even have to make sense any more - something about a urinal cake? I don’t know, I’m surprised there’s no laugh track so we know when to laugh on cue. Speaking of laughs, there are none here. Not sure if this movie was written by AI but they are definitely following EVERY sh*tty formula from all of your favourite mediocre movies. Classic rock songs in action sequences. Action scenes feature a cut every 2 seconds. Plot is paper thin, emotional scenes are contrived. Exposition IN SPADES. Yes, they are really phoning it in. The plot holes in this movie are abundant even for a time travel movie and the “bad guys” in this movie are an absolute joke. In summary, this movie isn’t bad enough to be enjoyable. It’s definitely not good enough to be enjoyable. I would give this a miss unless you NEED to see Ryan Reynolds go through his paces.

May be unfair for me to rate this movie since I fell asleep in the last third but on the other hand, there’s no way they could’ve redeemed this movie in the time I was asleep. I did chuckle a few times while watching but that’s only cos I find awkwafina mildly amusing. The comedy is bare…even with Ben Kingsley. Fight scenes are not TOO bad (there have definitely been worse - Adam Project comes to mind). Visual effects are atrocious and the plot is really a whole lot of nothing. As with many of these movies I am only writing a review cos I’m amazed at the high rating others have given. Maybe I’m out of touch but this is a waste of time unless you’ve lost your way to Snoozetown.
