Kevin Hart's getting some strange roles these days! It seems unfitting for him to be a hero like this, considering his height, and the roles he usually plays... though fortunately it's not the main one. He's but a sidekick - initially but a flickering figment of a man in the intro, and then we move on to the real thing. With Cate Blanchett! Who's unexpected for a movie of this caliber (I thought it'd be a B one) but also just perfect.
Jamie Lee Curtis is there too, making me think she's Ellen DeGeneres. And Florian Munteanu the man I initially thought might be Nathan Jones. Ariana Greenblatt's great, Bobby Lee's an unexpected self-defecating cameo (they do nail some of the humor btw) but Gina Gershon has gotta be my favorite of all. Oh my. Jennifer Lawrence is there too, if but for a small role, playing the mother of the actual motherly bad ass main character mother fucker.
I gotta play the game with this same name though.
The movie looks very much like the game does, from what little I've seen of it, but I'm not sure the visual form works as well in a movie. It's messy. It's fake. It's a bit like Mad Max but not as cinematic for the most part, with a video-game like setting to an extent it feels artificial.
But... I do I like it. I get into it. Even if it's all too bright and poppy and never really as down and dirty and desperate as it deserves. Even with the psychos.
But it's fiery, it's feisty and fun and makes me want to play the game.
She goes out with a bang, too.
Premature celebration?
Nah, just in time.
