A very mediocre affair, where I surprisingly enjoyed the romantic games more than what follows afterwards. The characters are likeable, Anna is just plain awesome, the humor is rather passable but not boring, the cameos are very enjoyable, and the action is a PG-13 routine for me that didn’t offend me, nor did it impress. 5/10.

A laid-back flick that mostly relies on the star power of Chris Evans and Ana de Armas. Beyond that, it’s pretty dull, lacking any unique ideas or anything that sets it apart from a slew of similar action comedies featuring actors and actresses both teaming up and clashing. Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking.

A film as generic as its poster. At least we can thank the marketing people for not lying to the audience.

While the "Golden Age of Hollywood" began in the 1920s, the era of "AI movies" began in the 2020s. What do I mean by that? They are incredibly sterile, uninspired films, with no chemistry between the actors. They are routine, artificial, generic, as if created by artificial intelligence. Their main goal is to please everyone. They have a nice facade, A-list casting, star cameos, winks to the audience, a soundtrack featuring a bunch of mainstream songs, and the kind of marketing that Apple products get. At its core, they are pathetic B-movies with hideous visual effects. Above all, they are incredibly empty and contribute nothing to the development of cinema. This category includes Red Notice or The Gray Man, and now Ghosted. These films deserve the lowest ratings, nevertheless, I always lower my expectations to the bare minimum before watching them, and I manage to settle for very little. A likable central duo (even if their roles don’t exactly fit them), a fun romantic line (albeit mind-numbingly unoriginal) and... that's it. I could only find two positives. Any rating would make sense to me when it comes to this film. I’ll admit, though, that next time I come across a similar film without lowering my expectations first, the rating will be significantly worse.
