A review on the movie 'Infinite'
It's exactly the kind of"was supposed to be in theaters" stinker that now ends up being treated as an A-level event for streamers.. The film was a solid hit and continued the wave of 1980's pop culture nostalgia that began with Adam Sandler's .
What's odd about the film is that its enjoyable-enough car chase prologue features Dylan O'Brien as the"previous life" of Wahlberg's protagonist, and it's frankly inexplicable that he wasn't the lead with Wahlberg playing the proverbial Morpheus. It certainly would have avoided questions about Wahlberg being indirectly paired with 31-year-old Sophie Cookson.
Fuqua almost single-handedly kept the R-rated actioner alive during a decade of post-Columbine PG-13 madness, so it's dispiriting to see him helming this assembly-line nothing-burger. also commits the sin of ending on an epilogue teasing a far more enjoyable movie.
