This film falls into the category of movies that are undeniably absurd, yet still enjoyable. It doesn't try to be anything other than a source of amusement. The movie combines elements of an art theft thriller, adventures reminiscent of Indiana Jones, and action sequences similar to those in the *Fast & Furious* franchise, all while incorporating plenty of humor. I need to admit something upfront: I didn’t really care for Ryan Reynolds' performance. He seems to have been cast primarily to deliver comic relief, but his brand of over-the-top silliness and what felt like dishonesty wasn’t quite my taste. Fortunately, Dwayne Johnson more than made up for it. I haven’t seen a movie with him in it that I considered truly disappointing yet. And, sorry to those who dislike Gal Gadot, I did enjoy her performance; though as a man, I might be slightly predisposed to like her, you know? The plot is pretty far-fetched, with mostly foreseeable surprises at every turn, but honestly, it simply serves to connect the action and jokes together, which is sufficient. This is a movie best enjoyed for its outlandish action, even more outlandish jokes, and, in my case, because Dwayne Johnson appears in it. It has a clear goal: pure entertainment. There’s no attempt at serious messaging, moralizing, or intellectual stimulation. I did like it; it gave me and my oldest son a couple of hours to simply be entertained together. Also, the Rotten Tomatoes score—which is notoriously skewed by political agendas—is another reason to give this movie a chance. You can see how far apart their “critics” are from what regular viewers think, even with their attempts to differentiate between "verified" and general audience scores. That manipulation couldn't disguise that their critics have completely different opinions than the audience.
