Building upon a superb 2022 that included memorable performances in 'Emily the Criminal' and 'The White Lotus,' Aubrey Plaza turns what could have been simply a colorful supporting part into an opportunity for magnetic scene-stealing.
lark’s heroes and villains to engage in shootouts, fistfights, and all manner of additional standard-issue action, and that status isn’t altered by the fact that Ritchie, Ivan Atkinson, and Marn Davies’ frisky script eventually reveals what it does and who wants it.is really about the sly, intricate subterfuges and stunts pulled off by its protagonists, beginning with Orson Fortune , whose name tells you all you need to know about the gravity of these proceedings.
It’s such that his handler Nathan — and, by extension, Nathan’s political boss Knighton —has no choice but to put up with his manipulations. Equally comfortable in elite company and getting his hands dirty, he’s a character tailor-made for Statham, allowing him to demonstrate his formidable combat skills, glower intimidatingly, and lean into the droll sense of humor that’s always been his secret weapon.
Nathan hires Orson to retrieve the Handle and figure out who’s behind this madness, and he pairs him with reliable human-Swiss-army-knife J.J. Davies and American expert Sarah Fidel , the latter stepping in for a former teammate who’s switched allegiances to a rival contractor outfit run by Mike . Together, they’re pointed in the direction of Greg Simmonds , a notorious arms dealer with a deep spray tan and a thick Cockney accent.
To do that, they follow an old Trojan Horse playbook by enlisting the aid of Hollywood megastar Danny Francesco , whom Greg adores and who’s convinced—via blackmail—to join Orson’s crew. Asked to play himself, Danny winds up being a reasonably reliable pawn, and Harnett embodies him with enough dim-bulb enthusiasm to make up for the fact that he’s a rather thin caricature.
That she also delivers over-the-mic instructions in eroticized close-ups of her mouth, and then leaps into the fray for some-esque mayhem—replete with a shot of her firing out of a vehicle that’s in the midst of a 360-degree spin—only further makes her the film’s brash, hilarious, awesome center of attention.
