Usually, I would take one look at the director attached to this (Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who also made the phenomenally unnecessary The Huntsman: Winter’s War) and be immediately sceptical about this being anywhere near the neighbourhood of worthwhile. But instead, I was actually looking forward to it because of basically every other name attached to it besides his, namely that of David Leitch’s 87North Productions. This is the studio that, along with its founders, has been pushing modern action cinema into a higher art form over the last several years, and considering star Mary Elizabeth Winstead and her own rising action cred off the back of Gemini Man and Birds Of Prey, I have enough faith in this working out. And honestly, I’d argue that this did work out.
