    My heart sank a little when the first death was such a damp squib. Listen: whatever this film is trying to do? That tone and those gimmicks? I’m down for that. But. And it breaks my heart to say it, Oshood just doesn’t have the juice to pull it off. The film never finds a groove between set-pieces and never really cooks in the set pieces (they’re all basically the same splash of CGI red). Some good lines and performance but… this should have been The Simpsons does Final Destination. And they gave me Family Guy does Final Destination. Main guy even sounds like the dog.

    ★★★½

    It's deffo lacking something but I think that last one was too? (I can't remember much about it tho). Something *has* gone a bit wrong with Tom's face. He can't quite do the lighter moments anymore, the self deprecating bits or when he's so cool it's supposed to be funny. The eyes won't light up and the grin seems too strained. He sort of looks like he's tryna to hide a hangover a lot of the time. I also literaly…

    lol, I liked it. I came in with a lot of goodwill and I think it rewarded that. I liked Ford and the villain had good presence (but lacked a real comeuppance). The action isn’t anything to get excited about tho some of it has a sense of sprightly fun that made me smile. I have a lot of affection for this character and this film played on that but that’s ok.
