47:26 Running through the snowy streets in your pants is not so subtle.
50:25 That was incredible slo-mo somersault.

Thoughts

Oooh, I loved this. Obviously, you’ve got a dream team duo helming the movie - both have incredible star power individually, then put them together and you’ve got something special. Of course this had one of the things I like most, people that do extraordinary things but just bumbling along together, grumping at each other. It’s like Avengers scenes where they’re just hanging out, the best part!

There was a slightly weird vibe around whether it was a Christmas movie or not. There was snow everywhere so was it trying to be Die Hard? But they never mentioned it so maybe not. And the super-fast explanation at the end was a bit much, but otherwise, I loved it. The story was good, the characters intriguing, and the wider cast held their own against the main duo. A great movie.

Rating: 4 / 5
