Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

David Parkinson

It's sad to see the director of Twin Falls Idaho (1999) and Northfork (2002) churning out pulp like Force of Nature (2020) and Terror on the Prairie (2022). But Michael Polish at least gets to hang out with Sylvester Stallone for this baffling tale of maverick spies seeking to overturn "the tyranny of the global intelligence network". Having met-cute in Prague, former agents Joe (Scott Eastwood) and Lara Travers (Willa Fitzgerald) are honeymooning near Gdansk when a downed helicopter lands a hard-drive MacGuffin in their lap. Sinister fixer Orlin (Mike Colter) starts killing all and sundry to retrieve it, while the CIA sends in semi-retired assassin Chester (Stallone) to liquidate Mr and Mrs Travers. The action sequences are plentiful. But they're staged with a lack of imagination that quickly makes them as tiresome as the expository dialogue that only makes things more confusing. Fitzgerald is pugnaciously gymnastic, Eastwood does impressions of his dad, while Stallone is a shadow of his former self. It's not unwatchable, but all rather dispiriting.
