I'm in. Looks like a good mindless buddy action/comedy

I imagine the russkie is going to sacrifice himself to get Reynolds out of Russia.

I need stuff like this in the theaters.

I’ve met an SR-71 pilot that’s flown on missions who knows where. Definitely didn’t give off Ryan Reynolds vibes.

ETA… still looks like a fun watch.

There are going to be some very pissed off people who were involved in the SR-71 program (if any are still alive). Because they know a lot of people will look at this and assume that this is based on some historical incident.

I’ll watch this just for Branagh, even if he is phoning in that Russian accent.

He may be doing a bad Russian accent, but Branagh never phones in a performance. I recently listened to a Heart of Darkness audiobook narrated by Kenneth Branagh (exclusively on Audible), and I've never heard a more dramatic, dynamic reading of a book.

While the wide dynamic range of his reading (slow to fast, soft to loud) increased the drama of even ordinary passages, it made it more difficult to listen to in a car. (It made me appreciate Chiwetel Ejiofor's very steady reading style, which was easy to follow when listening in a car.)

RR happily played along. He is that much of a dbag, sadly. And FFS, Blake utterly trashed her image! Even scorched her relationship with Taylor Swift! And for what reason??

Don’t know if she got the *wedding invite or not. Don’t really care. I suspect yes, but maybe not on the wedding party dais.

* ETA according to Siri , Blake Lively did not attend. Didn’t even make the top 1000.

100% agree.

I just added this to my audible queue.

Whatever happened with that situation with Blake Lively and that director guy, it pulled back the curtain on how awful she and Ryan are.
I think the director was completely vindicated and Blake/Ryan were proven to be despicable

I don’t know how much of those fight scenes Branagh actually does but good grief the man is 65. He’s giving Hugh Jackman a run for his money. .
