Ghosted (I) (2023)
2/10
It's...just awful.
21 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Yet another straight-to-streaming action-comedy-thriller with shoddy action, few laughs, and no thrills.

There is not a single original bone in this movie's body. Every plot point, every character, every set piece is lifted from another movie and watered down till there's no distinct flavor.

The entire film is really just Knight and Day (2010) but infinitely worse, with stale fights and pedestrian humor.

The star-studded A-list cast is left floundering, and they're unable to bring nothing special to their characters. It takes a special kind of incompetent to get bland performances out of these acclaimed actors.

The most egregious thing that annoyed me was the music. Whoever this music supervisor was needs to lose their job and be banished from the industry, because EVERY single placement of licensed music was baffling and dissonant with its respective scene.

Everyone involved in this movie's production needs to be slapped with a fine and given a sentence of community service, for so shamelessly making content as soulless and derivative as this.

The only reason this gets a 2 and not a 1 is because there was one extended celebrity cameo scene that made me laugh and was legitimately clever.
