Motorista de Fuga

That has to be the funniest description for any movie. Yes, reality bites, but apply just a smidgen when conceiving your storyline mr writer, Shawn Simmons. How does such schlock get a green light from producers, studios, mom and dad? Oh, and lest we forget, she's a hot chick former teenage getaway driver. At least Shawn got creative for the rest of the plot; former baddie wants to go straight, but get's pulled back in to do one more job to save self, save someone else, save Santa Clause. "That's gold, Jerry, gold!" LOL.

Finally, something dynamic from Hulu. Pure action: car chases, drifting, shootouts, blood, and of course Samara Weaving - absolutely born for roles like this. Stunning on screen, I love her work. The direction is sharp, the editing precise, and the cast well-chosen. Everything serves the pace and energy.

There is one significant drawback - the plot is primitive and naive. But for those looking for drive and adrenaline, the film more than delivers. I recommend it as a straightforward thrill ride with no pretension to depth.

The film directorial debut of "Shawn Simmons," who, among other things, botched the John Wick series "The Continental," shows with this action-comedy-drama bungle why he's not a good director and certainly not a good screenwriter. Nothing-absolutely nothing-is funny in this unoriginal film. Everything-absolutely everything-seems forced and contrived and isn't authentic or at all believable. The cast is poorly chosen, in my opinion, and since "series Simmons" couldn't bring out the best in the two main protagonists, both shine with a somewhat cringeworthy overacting that actually does some justice to the very annoying and unsympathetic characters.

Judging by the trailer, I was at least hoping the car chases might be good, but oh man, that backfired massively. The car chase scenes consist of a weird, perspective-based editing mess that leaves you completely disoriented. The camerawork lacks the skill to make the production's low budget look good and exciting. I also have no idea what's so interesting about the many close-ups of "Samara Weaving" and her frozen face. She plays her role so poorly throughout anyway that I would have loved to see a fly fly into her constantly half-open mouth; that would have been really funny.

I can't say much about "Karl Glusman," who is unknown to me and blessed with the charisma of a road worker and plays the ex-boyfriend, because he's so charismatically bland. The only bright spot is Andy Garcia, who solidly gets his paycheck here. Otherwise, the trivial, inconsequential dialogue is very fitting for the overall stereotypical characters portrayed in this run-of-the-mill heist drama.

Conclusion: Unfunny, unoriginal, uninspired, inauthentic, half-baked, insignificant, unbearable.

As the title suggests, this movie felt like one of those typical "Netflix movies" - only this time it's a Hulu original. By "Netflix movie", I mean something that's good enough to keep you watching until the end, but lacking in soul.

The story was interesting enough to hold my attention, but ultimately forgettable and nothing new. I didn't care about the characters enough to root for them or feel with them, though the strong cast kept me engaged. Scene after scene, I could sense exactly what the movie wanted me to feel, but I never actually felt it.

In short: if your watchlist is empty and you've got the time, go ahead and give it a try. Otherwise, you might walk away disappointed.

Wow . I'm in for some action treats but end up crying. Damn this was really good and painful to watch at the same time. Never thought Karl and Samara could pulled this off but they did. From the writers of deadpool . I'm glad I watched it. Definitely will recommend to one of my friends who loves movies.
