I was surprised the movie was given such poor ratings at IMDB.
It's clear: it's by no means the greatest movie Will Smith starred in, but it's far to be that average you may want to give it a 5, when worse movies ( like X-Men Apocalypse, which is a mess ) got better ratings.
The plot is far to be original and seems a bit rehearsed. And if it's true it is even sometimes predictable, especially at the end, it's far enough for the kind of movie Gemini Man is. It's mainly an action flick, not the next generation Memento.
First, all the characters introduced are pretty charismatic. Will Smith is really great portraying Brogan and his younger self. For Brogan, you can really feel the old tortured assassin tired of killing and for Junior, the intrepid and a bit reckless new one in the starting blocks. Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character Danny has a developed enough story to not stay the mere supporting sidekick quickly annoying or easily forgotten.
The visuals are great, and for once, you can appreciate the style of the CQCs, pretty raw here, but nicely choreographed. The FX is really neat and the de-aged Will Smith is not that bad, even if he seems to suffer the "mustache removal issue" of Superman in Justice League.
To sum up, Gemini Man is largely worth the ticket's price; surely not the movie of the year, but one with flaws forgivable enough to enjoy it in a theater.
