the plot twist of the wrong kid being kidnapped was interesting but i feel like it just could’ve been better

I feel like it was a waste of actors! You have Gillian, Ben and Kerry and this is the filthy script you get them reading. It felt like chat gpt wrote it. It’s not bad but defiantly wasn’t great either. In 2026 you have to give me more cmon now

You just know Matt Damon was relieved as FUCK when Nolan came calling about The Odyssey and he could escape starring in this.

What a genuinely trashy film Ben Affleck has made here. Before now, he had a genuinely great line-up of directorial efforts - but man, this is such a severe cut below. Yet another rip-off, of High and Low, following Spike Lee’s also disappointment, pot-shot with Highest 2 Lowest - it just doesn’t work, and it all feels incredibly melodramatic and obvious, not to mention forcibly political.

Ben Affleck puts in a good performance, but it’s really not enough to recover anything. Hell, everyone here, par Gillian Anderson unfortunately, puts in a good performance. But the film is just genuinely so jarring that it’s all empty.

A truly horrendous 3rd act that exceeds that viral clip you can see on Twitter - just terrible. Also, all Affleck’s talk about the “power of AI” in filmmaking and how it’s “seamless” - this is proof it isn’t…

Streaming Hollywood trash. Script was terrible. Acting was rough. Storyline was dumb and made little sense. Barely explained the reason the kidnapping was happening. Just dumb.

nothing special but not bad
