I'm very surprised I enjoyed it this much, so that's a good thing. Banks' directing skills might have increased a level.
The Good:
- Who knew? Stewart can be fun and goofy, and likeable; all at the same time.
- Ella Balinska stole the show as she was badass, gorgeous and magnetic. But Naomi Scott is the true movie star here. I didn't even like her character all that much but every time she's on screen, you can't help but be drawn to her. She has charisma for days.
- One would expect some twists and turns from a Charlie's Angels movie, and I am happy to report that I made the wrong guess on this one.
- Jonathan Tucker is the new Crispin Glover, and he was fantastic as the silent muscle.
- Claflin also has a good role that was goofy and entertaining.
The Bad:
- Some action sequences were questionable in terms of logic and believability, but the hand-to-hand action scenes involving Balinska were always good.
- The motivations for the protagonists were very murky and felt very convenient.
- Chris Pang's character was not written in properly as his character was very confusing at the end. Why was he even there for? It's likely that he was setup here for future movies, but this was done badly.
