This action-comedy should be commended for its ambition to exist as both an absurdly violent, hysterically funny balls-to-the-wall rescue thriller and a genuinely affecting, simple narrative that's grounded in reality as well as humanity. It doesn't quite balance its clashing tones very well, and the plot holes are glaring the more one thinks about its premise but the action sequences are fun, Nathan Caine’s character arc is well written and Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder are compelling leads. Fun for its runtime!

Thankfully, Sam Raimi resolves all that and more in his return to the superhero genre with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Raimi’s vision allows for elements of the horror genre to meld wonderfully in the Marvel formula through crafting frightening spectacle with well-designed…
