Sweet but Forgettable

This movie is sweet. A bit cringy at times. But sweet. I definitely have a soft spot for Gerard Butler and I do love Jessica Biel. I think there are chunks of the movie that are just unnecessary, but I think that's to be expected with a movie like this one. I feel like I've seen this movie before but I can't remember. According to my Netflix, I've watched it before but I had no recollection of that or what the film was about so I guess that goes to show how memorable it is. I doubt I'll ever watch it again, but I'm not mad I watched it.

Assassin film by numbers

I hadn't heard much about this prior to it popping up on Netflix. Which given the cast line up wasn't a good sign. This seems to follow the typical blueprint of so many assassin films. The agent is now in the crosshairs of the organisation they work for and surprise they turn the tables for payback. Pretend you've never heard of @The Bourne Identity (2002) or @Anna (2019) or any of the films on my Assassins film list pretty much. The ending felt like a blank misfire as well. Such a shame given the cast on show.
