This is a wonderful film that alternates between archival footage of the Apollo Program and revealing personal interviews with the astronauts themselves, who are entirely responsible for the narration. They recall their experiences, thoughts, and emotions at the time as well as anecdotes both amusing and amazing. It truly gives one both the feeling of what it's like to be an astronaut and a profound respect for the men who undertook one of humanity's greatest adventures and achievements

This Netflix original is not in the least original; it even copies the title of a 1933 film. "The Man from Toronto" (2022) only earns two stars because it's not completely awful and occasionally has mildly amusing moments. Overall, however, it's quite lame, just one more in a series of forgettable, cookie-cutter thrillers that Netflix pumps out as "content," such as "The Gray Man" and "Red Notice." You've seen these action sequences done better in dozens of other movies. Tough-guy Woody Harrelson and bumbling motor-mouth Kevin Hart recycle their one-note characters from previous films; the latter is especially irritating. The setup and the shtick are obvious and tiresome, the plot and running gags go nowhere particularly interesting, and Caley Cuoco and Ellen Barkin are wasted, merely picking up paychecks for throwaway cameos. To quote the film, this is not a "low toner situation"; this is a "low humor situation." If you want to see far superior comedies with Harrelson or Hart, watch "Zombieland" or "Central Intelligence"; as for the director, you might want to check out his similarly mindless odd-couple action flick "The Hitman's Bodyguard."
