Yeah this looks hilarious, full of action and silliness. Right up my alley. @Shane would love this too.

I'm in. It looks like it's going to be over the top fun.

Apple Studios too. They're killing it with the projects they're choosing. Not many duds.

Cannot wait. Been a fan of his ever since Layer Cake. Always entertaining.

Side note - he's been married to supermodel Claudia Schiffer for 21 years and they have 3 children.

I haven't seen it yet but it sounds like it's been getting a thumbs up from everyone here. Anyone have any idea why it's bombing? I haven't really heard much on it one way or another. It's going be a lucky to hit $50m after it's 2nd weekend though which is a big oof for a movie with a $200m production budget.

It's many things at once and I don't think people dig that. The plot is simple and convoluted all at the same time.

You think it's over and it's not over.

I also think the trailer is a big misdirection. Dua Lipa is barely in the movie. Henry Cavill is not central to the plot at all.

The cat is a really just a gag and not featured like in the trailer

So bad marketing. From what you said I get a feel it's similar to something like Jojo Rabbit or Fight Club where the trailers didn't do the actual movie justice.

I told my sister in law I was seeing it and she said "The dumb cat movie?"

So yeah
