This thing was like a big swing and a miss owed all to the D- script. There's a decent cast, director, setting, even premise, and then it's like womp womp. Rather than making the block it barely creeps around the nearest corner. Plus it doesn't help that young Bill's character at least by physicality standards seeks to embody Pete Davidson circa 2019. Honestly it isn't even a riff on that style but a total rip off. And Sir Anthony in his twilight era - by age not vampire genre - happens to just be window dressing with no arc, no direction, and frankly a little irritating in his vocal delivery as most of his performance is literally phoned in. And while I didn't have the highest of expectations from seeing the preview, I remained hopeful there could be something, anything, that make the movie float at some level, but no. Like a 3 day old helium balloon it just sort of hangs there.

What I'll never understand about all the reviews that surround blockbusters is how the simplest details get glossed over yet also get lumped into the overall takeaway of the offering. It's a Mission Impossible movie! What is there to know? Or pick apart? Check you brain, maybe bring some ear plugs, and zone the eff out. Let the ever-aging yet never-graying man boy hairless monkey dance and mug for as long as AI may be staved off from ruinizing the not too distant future of action cinema. Because one day soon we'll all reminisce about the good ol' days when that spry Tommy C juggled knives better and louder than the rest. All of this said! May there never be another MI under his watch again. Like the late Tom Davis said there are 2 stages to life: youth and you look great. Mr Cruise hasn't been young for some time and well, you get the idea. Bon appetit!

There are train wrecks, and then there are train wrecks. WTAF this steaming heap of time and "talent" will completely challenge everything you've ever presumed to be good and decent about a B movie, regardless of the decade or genre. Noodling on a Spanish streamer I like called FilmIn I happened to click on Shelly Winters from another list to land on her oevre, and the still / poster caught my eye. I briefly read the synopsis, evaluated the cast and otherwise went in cold. It's 2025, I'm 50 years old, watch 300+ movies a year, and I have never heard even a smidgen of this thing. And what the hell with the Atlanta setting!? Byt the end all I could think of was that '30 Rock' episode that prophesized the next 'Transformers' movie poster would proudly boast: written by no one. That not one, not two, but three human beings took credit for "writing" this? Is this the worst movie I've ever seen? Easily in the top 5 worst if not the worst. Just 10 kinds of awful. No wonder no cinema worth its salt does any revivals of this, because there's nothing to revive.
