Thoughts
The reviews for this movie haven't been that great, but I was intrigued and the trailer looked good, so why not go for a rom-com spy comedy crossover? I really liked it, actually, it was fun and the actual conspiracy was a pretty good one.
It took me a minute to get my head around Chris Evans being the bumbling one and not the 'I can do this all day' hero, but he was actually pretty good at it. The cameos really annoyed me because of that, though, as it took me right out of the movie in a bad way.
Still, the bounty hunter's killing each other concept was fun, like next level John Wick. Overall, more fun than the reviews would have you believe.
Rating: 4 / 5
