A promising premise, once compromised by an inadequate director, inept actors, horrific dialogue, and a host of other problems, is unable to rise to the surface.

There is nothing imaginary about how bad a misfire this movie is even for the Blumhouse base.

All the pleasure hinted at by the trailer is illusory. This is the month when Hollywood jettisons its refuse and this particular sampling belongs buried deep in a landfill.

A David Ayer/Jason Statham collaboration in 2024 is something to be avoided if any sort of investment of time or money is involved.

Instead of offering engaging storytelling, it give us flashes, bangs, bad dialogue, and a mountain of fakery.

Adding a dash of gore and an undercooked romance cannot save this meandering road trip movie from slipping into monotony and boredom.

Director Olivia Wilde’s sophomore effort becomes the first high-profile dud of the 2022 autumn season.

Stiff acting, an increasingly hard-to-swallow storyline, and an atrociously bad ending torpedo "Gone in the Night", making it unworthy of even a streamed view.
