Is that the case for anyone else? Yep, happening here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Rated R for violence, language throughout, some crude sexual material and graphic nudity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hmm I’ve seen the trailer for this quite a few times in theaters. It looks pretty fun. Even if it doesn’t get good reviews, I could see it having a Hitman’s Bodyguard type of run at the box office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I laugh out loud every time I see the part in the previews where the guy trying to kill Mila and Kate gets hit by the bus and McKinnon's like "Oh God! Jesus! What happened?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be very hard to distinguish for me a studio confidence into an expected reaction (they are pushing a good test screening numbers since last year, so possibly) and not liking the tracking numbers and trying stuff with little too loose, when they show the movie a lot a week in advance like that but did hold the embargo review. Specially with an review embargo still up just 7 days before release with an original movie that could use it.

Like I said I’m thinking this is another Hitman’s Bodyguard. Although this may end up getting worse reviews than that by the looks of it HOWEVER if the leads have enough chemistry than I still think it’ll do well at the BO like THB did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see it but I think Hitman's Bodyguard worked because it delivered on its promise of a sweary action comedy and Jackson and Reynolds together is a strong pairing, I'm not sure if Kunis and McKinnon can replicate that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Prime Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 It's pretty mediocre. The cast tries their best, and Kate McKinnon has a couple of funny moments, but most of the jokes aren't very funny, and it's got really bad tonal whiplash. The action scenes are fine and are decently shot, but they're surprisingly really intense, gory and gratuitous, which really takes you out of the film. One minute, somebody gets their neck cracked, or they get impaled, or they get shot in the head, then the next minute Kunis and McKinnon are cracking jokes about Minions and vaginas. Wouldn't recommend. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
