I wanted to see this in the cinema when it came out in 2019.

I mean, come on, Will Smith returning to his 90s, post Fresh Prince, action hero roots?

I never got round to it, mainly because I never could get anyone else to go with me!

However, it recently popped up on Netflix, so I was finally able to give it a watch.

The verdict? Somewhat generic action thriller, not at all what I was expecting (which was something closer to the likes of Arnie's 'The 6th day'), primarily because of the far more contemporary setting.

It's no secret - it's even of the poster - that Will Smith is being hunted by a younger version of himself, but - watching this - it's obvious where the budget went: ie mainly on those de-ageing bits, with some of the other FX a little bit on the ropey side. That might also be because, I have since learned, that this was filmed for 3d yet I watched it in 2d.

Anyway, enjoyable but forgettable fluff.
