Ghosted (2023)

I saw this movie thinking it was a romantic film and although it is, it is not the classic style but a mixture of this with action and adventure, in which the latter is preponderant.

There are common situations in this type of productions, outdated scenes in which it seeks to shock the viewer with them and only some traditional romance at the beginning.

The protagonist whose name is Sadie is played by Ana de Armas who in 2022 was nominated for an Oscar as Best Actress for her work in the film Blonde where she played the role of the legendary Marilyn Monroe, is a successful CIA agent and in one of her breaks she meets Cole, an attractive farmer with whom after a date she ends up having sex.

So far everything is normal but then he tries to locate her and goes to London and there he is kidnapped and taken to Pakistan confusing him with another agent of the agency in which Sadie works.

The role of the protagonist is played by Chris Evans, famous for his role as Captain America, and it should be noted that in this case his character is not that of a superhero or violent person who exhibits his fighting skills, so I think he has done a good job removing that stereotype.

To his rescue she arrives and after scenes that seemed to me overacted, she achieves her goal, but she must fulfill another mission, which takes her to other countries in Asia.

The critics, despite being acceptable for some, highlight the lack of chemistry between the protagonists, something that I personally noticed, the lousy direction of Dexter Fletcher, the erratic scenes and the script and also the distortion of the music with the special effects that are not spectacular at all.

The movie was released on Apple TV+ on April 21, 2023 and did not go to theaters, the cast consists of ten other actors.

The appearance of Evans undoubtedly produced great expectation and this could be noticed in the fact that the premiere of this meant the most watched exclusive of the streaming service.

Personally, I consider it disproportionate but it fulfills the minimum of entertainment, taking into account that it was created for a small audience and without many pretensions.
