So What's The Story?

Henry Brogan a hitman, the age of 51 decides to retire after his 72nd kill. However, the people that he works for don't take the loss easily. Soon Henry is on the run with Danny Zakarweski an agent. Plus an old friend named Baron. Henry soon finds out that he is being hunted by a younger cloned version of himself. Henry must decide whether to keep running or to face himself.

Is It Worth Your While?

Gemini Man is not the incredible experience that it should be but it's entertaining enough to keep you interested. Now here are my reasons. First of all, we have the directing by Ang Lee, director of Life of Pie (no score yet). He could not piece together the incredible story that was made for the film. However, he managed to direct action sequences with flair and passion, providing sheer entertainment for the whole audience. Next, we have the special effects. I thought that the special effects and camera work were stunning and remarkably realistic. Although, sometimes the clone (Junior) looked a little bit rubbery with the emotion but was mostly okay. Third, we have the script and story. The ideas are inspiring but not well executed, the writing is most of the time bland but often engaging. After a while, you feel as if you are in an endless loop of indifference. Soon enough, Will Smith is the only thing keeping the film together. Overall Gemini Man's Directing was great with action but bad with the story. The special effects were dazzling and the script and story were usually uninteresting but breezily entertaining.

How Was The Cast?

The cast in Gemini man gives it's all to try and stick the movie back together. First, we have Will Smith as Henry Brogan/Junior. Will Smith can do anything, whether it's a Genie or a Fresh Prince, he'll always find a way for you to enjoy him. In this film, he was on it immediately. He seemed focused and never got out of character. Next, we have Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Danny Zakarweski. Funny, great with Will Smith and suiting the role perfectly were the three things needed for another hit performance of the film. Third, we have Benedict Wong as Baron. Not a huge character of the movie and yet, he tried his hardest to make the best version of Baron that he could make. Occasionally humorous and bringing a surprising feel-good touch to the film. Fourth and finally, we have Clive Owen as Clay Verris. Possibly the worst character and performance of the movie. The villain of the film was not what I had anticipated in terms of depth and a cool backstory.

Aging 'Project Gemini'

Gemini Man has scenes of violence. Vehicles explode, there are multiple chase scenes. Gunfights and hand to hand combat are also significant in the film. A woman is seen without clothes and there is some flirting. However, Henry is a brave and morally strong character and there is some teamwork within the main characters.
