I've watched worse - the pre-amble plot explainer bit is awful. However there are some redeeming features, some amusing one liners and well basically Kate Beckinsale who whilst a little skinny for my preference, is very,very watchable. I actually think I may even let her re-enact the ball busting scene and not totally hate it.

It was OK. Seen better but also have seen a lot worse. Won't ever watch again though.

Glanza · 25 Jul 2021 at 17:11

Ok sums this up, take brain out for sure and the twists were easy enough to work out at the start. It's like they didn't even try to hide the stunt double towards the end of the film.

I've seen worse films but not many with a worse ending.

Shoza · 25 Jul 2021 at 23:41

Absolutely awful. Had nothing better to do than watch this and still felt like I wasted my time. How does stuff this bad get made!?

Oh yeah who could forget van helsing kate!

The problem with Jennifer Connelly is that unlike Kate, she hasnt aged well at all.

I watched this last night and it was pretty terrible. Some of the dialogue was cheesier than a tramp's bell end.

Sho · 26 Jul 2021 at 15:30

Watched it last night. It was ok.

She's lost to much weight but still not bad for 50.

Kate's peak for me was Van Helsing as mentioned. Now I'm not sure if it's the accent

flea.rider · 26 Jul 2021 at 19:32

fine for what it was .. lets hope no follow on

Thekwango · 26 Jul 2021 at 19:43

Didn’t get any further than the horribly cringe worthy waffle voice over at the start.

checjb · 26 Jul 2021 at 21:12

47?! Damn, she looks amazing.
Not a great film but some funny bits and amusing to watch in a "brain in standby mode" kind of way.

Jennifer Connelly is a stunning woman i was really wowed by her in Alita.

Nah Kate'e peak for me was definitely the first couple of Underworld movies maybe it was the skintight pvc catsuit.. :drool:

On topic, flic was ok i guess.. Nothing really new and some really poor setups for the plot. Was something untaxing to watch.

ianh · 28 Jul 2021 at 16:01

Well having watched it now I still think there is "Wick-ness" in the visual style, fight chorography and some of the story aspects too but overall it's still crap, even Beckinsale can't help this turkey rise above mediocrity.
