This movie ended up being better than I expected, even though a few things were unexpectedly distracting along the way. There’s no denying Chris Hemsworth is an action star and perfectly built for a role like this. For the most part, he’s convincing as an American, but there are moments where his Australian accent slips through just enough to pull you out of the movie. It doesn’t ruin the performance, but it’s noticeable when it happens.
I also wish Halle Berry had more screen time and that her character was written with more toughness. She does get a final “fight back” moment, but not to the level I was hoping for, especially knowing how much of a badass she can be when fully unleashed.
Mark Ruffalo absolutely steals his scenes. He’s subtle, clever, and clearly having fun, delivering a performance that adds real texture to the film.
I was more disappointed by Barry Keoghan. While his body language and voice work, his facial expressions feel oddly rigid and emotionless, which became distracting. Thankfully, a good portion of his scenes take place behind a motorcycle helmet.
At times, the pacing slows almost to a screeching halt, though not every film like this needs to be running on full cylinders nonstop.
The cinematography was a real standout. It often felt raw and grounded, giving the action a very physical, lived-in quality, but it also did a great job connecting scenes and establishing the world around the characters. The camera work made the environments feel tangible and alive rather than just a backdrop, and there were several shots that genuinely impressed me and stuck in my mind afterward.
Overall, it’s a fun movie with no unexpected twists, but still an enjoyable time if you’re in the mood for a solid action ride.
