This concept and these leads should have made for a charming must-see adventure, and sadly this isn’t that. Editing, camera choices, and fight geography are completely absurd. Pacing is all over the place. We’ve seen the chemistry between Evans and de Armas before, so we know the flat scenes aren’t their fault. But it’s weird how many there are, especially when others are snappy and engaging. Amy Sedaris and Tate Donovan deliver some good laughs (though casting them as Evans’s parents made me feel quite old).
