Reviews put me off

Don’t trust the reviews. Got some good action to it.

It's absolutely rubbish. I turned it off and wish I had paid notice to the reviews.

Was OP always called Garythesnail?

No I was HarriettaTheSlug before this. I had a gender change.

Screw you. It was a good film.

Nowhere near as bad as the reviews would have you believe, also not great.

Reviews are a bit OTT probably because of Apple Production etc. Yes the film was poor but not THAT poor.

I think I got through the first half hour or so before I gave up on it. Absolutely dire, it's like a Hallmark film or something you'd see on Channel 5 but with an Apple budget and the product placement to match. I initially thought/hoped the cheesiness was done just for the set-up it soon became clear that wasn't the case at all, and even the wonderful Ana de Armas couldn't save it for me.

Perfectly acceptable popcorn flick imo, and the bounty hunter scene was really funny.

They didn't use the apple AirTags when they were doing the stalking stuff.

I manage to watch it all on my second attempt. I switched it off after 15 minutes on the first watch, too cringle rom.com for my liking. Does get better 30 minutes in but it's a high barrier to entry. Overall not a bad movie with some good action scenes and funny moments but it losses steam about 1 hour in.

5/10

The film was absolutely mince.

3/10 and I feel that's being quite generous.

Actually, that would probably explain the general feeling on this forum, it did lean more rom-com with a bit of action than action with a bit of rom-com.

As a non-rom-com-hating household, that would explain why we thought it was passable.

trailer actually looks fun. might well watch this at some point.

I watched this a few weeks ago, I'd hoped it would be good, but it was pretty poor, don't actually think I made it to the end, or if I did I have no recollection of how it ended. Initial premise was good, but after that it turned into a below average rom/com/action film.
