AI is all powerful and unstoppable! Except by a crack team of off-the-wall hero-with-a-heart-of-gold types, and the magic anti-ignition (AI) key they will eventually come in possession of, obviously 🤦🏾
Wow. The thick layering and atrocious delivery of exposition that sets up MI:DEAD RECKONING almost saw me turn this off less than 30mins in. I don't any of the others being this awful in of laying bare their somewhat muddled premise. But then no recent action franchise I…

I temporarily forgot I was watching a Gareth Evans action film, so was mildly taken back at his the film went from wary set-up to action differently dialed to 11 in the time it took to cross a dance floor. This was as visceral as expected, with a reasonably simple but engaging story. Tom Hardy works for the central role of jaded cop Walker, in search of, if not redemption, then release, though the characterisation ended up feeling a little…

Excellent indie rom-com with more feel-good factor than I expected but it carries it well. Ostensibly a time-travel piece (genre flavour of the month!) the film's primary interest is in subverting mainstream rom-com tropes and character stereotypes; a goal which it achieves most irably. Fun, funny, and possessed of an honest warmth lacking from many Hollywood productions of this nature, even the broad, physical comedy in this worked for me. Well worth seeing. Also, Aubrey Plaza...swoon.
