The bad:
Supposedly an action comedy, but I didnt laugh once, nor was I aware there was anything to laugh about to begin with, although I did hear one single person laugh loudly ocassionally, so perhaps some folks could still be amused by it...
More bad: It is not romantic at all, although the first hour is sort of a budding romance, between Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, but this is a budding "romance" without ANY sparks. No chemistry whatsover! Bummer.
Even more bad: the first hour NOTHING happens and then out of the blue the second hour is full on action packed with Ryan Gosling suddenly being accused of killing a moviestar and having to fight for his life, dodging bullets.
A LOT of very darkly lit scenes however did make me wonder who was fighting who, because often I could not distinguish the bad guys from the good guys because of this annoying low lit photography. And the action was dull as dishwater to begin with, so I didnt miss much...
Not any good then? NO. This story just DOES NOT MAKE SENSE at all. It's neither a good romance, nor is it a solid action movie, nor is it a comedy. This story AND it's characters are totally NOT credible. What a MISFIRE of a script!
I am a big Ryan Gosling fan, but it's better I forget this movie was ever made, because it was a complete nothing burger!
