Captain Needy finally meets his dream girl, sleeps with her, but then he gets ghosted.
It's all fine and dandy up until this point. The chemistry between the two leads, Chris Evans and Ana De Armas, who always steals every scene she is in, is fantastic and minor characters like Needy's brutally honest sister, add spark to what could have been a great mystery thriller.
Needy then becomes Captain Stalker when he decides to follow Dream Girl's trail all the way to London after having left dozen of unanswered messages, like only a loser/very romantic guy (take your pick) would do.
Quickly, like the screenwriter just gave up and handed the whole thing to a stuntmovie coordinator, the whole affair then turns into an action spectacle where everyone wants the content in a suitcase. How original.
There's a great action setpiece involving a bus, but whenever I see movies where women throw around men who are three times their own weight and size and in life threatening situations are either cracking jokes or discussing with their fellow in arms, I just zone out and wonder if I am watching one of those gamevideo walkthroughs set on God mode.
This could have, and should have, been so much better.
