Ghosted (2023)

As bad as this movie is — and it is — it might yet attract an audience based on novelty value alone. Each lead actor is A-listed, and more than capable of carrying a entire feature on their own. Evans, hobbled with a beard and an inhaler, still comes across as the ultimate Alpha Male. De Armas has never given a bad performance, and has never failed to completely charm an audience. Brody is a legend with a mind-boggling filmography to his credit. The problem is the script. OMG. Maybe the three writers hated each other. Sure looks that way. There is barely a single line of dialog that rings true. No chemistry between the two leads whatsoever. Editing that moves around so quickly you can get a headache. And the movie is so slow for the first 30 minutes, you could finish your tax return while waiting for something to happen.
