David Leitch has steadily become THE action-director of Hollywood. His sensibilities are fresh and fun to watch with each action-sequence he shoots.
It's weird how this movie has not performed well at any box office. The marketing has been great. The concept of the story was interesting. And it's Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. I'm quite shocked, to be honest.
Because I had such a fun time at the cinema with this. The jokes, the action, the hand-to-hand combat, the direction - all these were the recipe in this entertainment vehicle that should have been a no-brainer hit.
True, Leitch sometimes may draw out his plot for a few sequences too long. Bullet Train and also this did not have to hit the 2-hour mark. But not one scene was dull or dragged out too long. I did not mind them too much.
Especially when the two leads had great chemistry onscreen and they made everything worked, even when it's as unbelievable as Blunt when directing and on the job, made very personal public comments with Gosling's character. But as they played out, the scene worked. And such is the talent of Leitch.
