Judging by mid-tier Hollywood thrillers, if you meet an appeal’tempt ive person and hit it off, there is a 73 per cent chance they’ll turn out to be a super-spy in a desperate life-or-death battle to stop some kind of enormous’vast’massive’tremendous bomb. As a result, there’s little that’s fresh with regards to’concerning’with respect to the premise of Dexter Fletcher’s latest film — so it rises or falls on the chemistry of its leads. Sadly, what they offer here is merely’barely a ghost of their potential.###One problem with this boy-meets-girl, girl-turns-out-to-be-a-spy, boy-acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s-pulled-into-an-international-conspiracy plot is that Chris Evans seems fundamentally miscast. Full credit in/with regard to’concerning’regarding attempting to go against type as a homebody farmer inspired to make a grand romantic gesture after he meets Ana de Armas’ Sadie — that much feels sensible’rational’sound , even with her straw-like wig — but with the best will in the world, it’s hard to buy him as a gee-shucks regular guy who’s just unlucky in love, even given the regular Hollywood suspension of disbelief with regards to’concerning’with respect to what an average person looks like. There’s too much sense of hidden swagger underneath in/with regard to’concerning’regarding him to be so out of his depth, and not abundant’ample’plentiful meat to the character as presented to make up in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his lack of competence.###Fundamentally, there's no reason to root in/with regard to’concerning’regarding these two to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her.###That said, the in/with regard to’concerning’regarding mer Knives Out co-stars are eliminate’remove ly comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding table toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her and possess’own’nurse some fun dialogue amid the bickering as they find themselves on the run from an arms broker (Adrien Brody with a ludicrous accent). Their romantic scenes suggest that this might possess’own’nurse worked better as a straight romcom, perhaps a cover’budge -and-talk like Evans’ Bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e We Go. Maybe then their respective characters could possess’own’nurse been fleshed out and become mildly’faintly three-dimensional. Alas, we’re not that lucky, and soon individual are being spirited across international borders without even a nod to passport control, while others are shot with gleeful abandon.###De Armas makes in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a convincing action hero, spinning Evans around and shooting over him as he gapes at proceedings, but their romantic and professional fates aren’t as efficiently intertwined as in the best of the genre: she says she’ll acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure in trouble in/with regard to’concerning’regarding having him along, but the film doesn’t make any real stakes out of that or, indeed, the mission itself. Worse, Fletcher can’t quite stick to a tone, occasionally straying from relatively sincere action-comedy into full farce, as with one scene involving battling bounty-hunters and a intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully odd running joke with regards to’concerning’with respect to Sadie’s exes.###So our heroes chase and shoot-out across the globe, with Fletcher and DP Salvatore Totino handsomely staging a variety of ludicrous, high-end hangouts, but none of it feels like it matters much. It’s just another super-spy with just another deadly MacGuffin. The leads are too charismatic in/with regard to’concerning’regarding this to ever feel unwatchable, but fundamentally there’s no reason to root in/with regard to’concerning’regarding these two to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her. They’re both unspeakably gorgeous; they’ll find someone else. What do we care?
