Synopsis: A group of loners form a team of unlikely heroes.
The Good: It’s so fun. This is a film that knows what it is and leans in. It’s funny but doesn’t really try to be funny. It’s dramatic without being heavy handed. It’s action heavy but doesn’t quite go too hard. It’s now trying to be anything but entertaining and it succeeds there. I’m not the biggest Pugh fan but the blue either did kinda slap.
The Bad: There were moments the felt tropey. A few that kind of felt rushed for pacing reasons but it works. It’s fine. They walked the line on the sandwich parts and probably should have chosen one side or the other. The accents were…whoo, almost offensive. It’s not the Avengers. It’s just a cute hero movie.
Best Line: “Yelena, being the hero, there is no higher calling.”
Fun Fact: In real life, Florence Pugh actually jumped off the Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which is the second tallest building in the world (2,227 feet tall) with no CGI or a stunt double.
