TheEvilTwin

Just another exorcism movie. Or another generic genre addition that unfortunately spits out all its plot and reveals all the demon scenes in the trailer and has nothing to dazzle with. Russell Crowe is a nice change from the jaded Mr. and Mrs. Warren, and his role as a satirical rebel priest is solid, but otherwise it's just a classic template that doesn't stand out in any aspect. Visually fine, atmospherically average and kind of middle of the road in terms of craftsmanship. I expected more.

Could this be Tarek Boudali's first stumble? After all his previous comedies, which I devoured to the fullest and which always made me laugh ad absurdum, he comes up with a very weak piece that I didn't laugh almost once! The idea of an inveterate liar lying to everyone and everywhere and one day all his uttered lies turn into reality is perfect for a comedy, but it's as if they lacked the balls to make it more exciting, and the whole thing is terribly boring and unfunny. The individual lies and details are mundane and sterile, the characters are forgettable dummies and the plot is maddeningly uninteresting. Much more could have been made of this idea, one star for the idea, but apart from that it's a terrible misstep.

Let's be honest, none of us were expecting Jack Ryan-like CIA action from Ghosted, we all went for the fun love story, the women for the sexy Captain America and the men for the gorgeous Ana de Armas, who is just a joy to watch. The story is nothing innovative and the fights and chases are nothing amazing either, but entertainment-wise it's a very cool piece and the characters are also great and easy for the viewer to like. I was expecting more crap, but the result is an inoffensive one-off that certainly doesn't bore - in short, a perfectly fine diversion. And the cameos of Deadpool, the Winter Soldier and the Falcon were a great pleasure!
