I’ve seen the trailers and the “All too well” moment almost is enough to get me to watch it. Looks like it’s played for laughs though….

Somewhat. Or at least Gosling was smart enough to know that it would be funnier IF he played it completely straight.

I think I'll stream this and just wander away from the screen during action sequences. I like these two!

Good plan! I think it will also play well on an airplane.

Thanks for the review, Rob. I saw this trailer in the theater a few weeks ago and couldn't imagine myself going to see it. It just looked so dumb! But I can see the chemistry you describe being entertaining and enjoyable. Maybe I'll see it someday.

Thanks for reading, Andy! I was actually looking forward to it to see if Gosling could bring some Ken-ergy into the action movie genre. He's good and so is Blunt but there's not much else around it.

Bummer. Gosling and Blunt in a funny action film seems like a great summer movie… but it needs to be better than this sounds.
