Review of Gemini Man (2019) by Mpreviews — 27 Oct 2019

Pros:

-Good score.

-Action is well choreographed and fun to watch.

-The characters are likeable and the performances are really good, especially from Will Smith.

-The technology used to de-age Will Smith is very impressive.

Cons:

-While the action is very good, it is pretty over the top, which kinda clashes with the film’s more serious tone.

-Some dialogue feels a bit padded out.

-I don’t really understand why Henry stopped Junior from killing Clay when he just killed him himself anyways.

-They reveal later in the movie that Marino, Henry’s former partner, is still alive despite him supposedly being killed earlier in the film when he delivers a message to Lassiter yet there was no scene prior to this establishing that Henry knew he was still alive. Just a nitpick but I would’ve liked to have known how he survived and how Henry found him. Final Verdict: Gemini Man is an enjoyable flick with some truly impressive technology behind it that is worth checking out if you are interested, and it’s a shame that it hasn’t been doing very well at the box office.
