Ugh. A VERY poor John Wick-esque rip-off / homage / whatever.
If they had been more true to the tone of Wick and not had it so jokey and farcical then they might have had something. As it stood it was like watching a tv-movie with caricatures of stereotypical 'baddies' from The A-Team.
The storyline was as terrible as it was old - about who cares stole who cares money and ohhhh, better watch out ... they're real mad and…

Fascinating concept and executed extremely well. It was Zemekis...od course it was.
Loved the travels thru history from this specific perspective. Stunning opening...only marred by some questionable cgi.
The acting was overall terrific and the stories told were engaging.
The de-aging was very well done. Young Tom Hanks looked amazingly good.
The moment at the end when the camera starts to move is quite jarring!
Lovely, lovely film.
93/100

Ugh.
Reasonable doubt, anyone? Proof? I'd hate to be a defendant with that lawyer. This case should never even made it to court and that fact took me completely out of this film.
And the ending. My most hated thing I hate about films that I hate. The lawyer turns up at his door and .... ? What? You decide.
To summarise, I didn't like the story or (most of) the characters or the acting. With such a good cast I don't understand that.
7/100 (maybe my lowest score ever)

I nearly gave up on this film entirely about 20 mins in when the crazy space-monkeys were let loose on the gladiators. I had to smother a laugh when I recognised what Indy's review meant, but really! I don't think anything like that exists or ever existed on this planet. Crazy mental choice.
Over all I really enjoyed the movie - although I understand people's feelings that it's very much like the original ... so did we really need it?…
