Negative (I) (2017)
5/10
I am saving your life

Warning: Spoilers
Natalie (Katia Winter) has a great opening scene in a Chinese restaurant that we don't see, which is out first clue. In a park, Hollis (Simon Quarterman), a lonely sad sack photographer, snaps a photo of Natalie who somehow manages to find his apartment and demands the photo back. In what amounts to a semi-abduction Hollis goes off with Natalie who has a bag of cash, a gun, and 2 passports, but that is where the Jason Bourne comparisons end. At this point you expect some kind of Bourne tactics, but instead our couple drive a Volvo across the desert and fill us in with background that didn't help the film.

What we find out is that Natalie can take a punch to the face, but the dialogue was Jason Statham bland by design and it lacked the action. Did I mentioned they were driving a Volvo? Who carries a box of strike matches around instead of a Bic? Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
