‘Ghosted’ Review: Chris Evans And Ana De Armas Lift Hyped-Up Action Comedy That Throws Everything At The Screen

EXCLUSIVE: Skydance’s spy action comedy, Ghosted, is the most watched movie debut to date in AppleTV+ history per Samba TV.

When Anna Richardson first fronted the dating show that saw singletons pick partners in their birthday suits before going on a date with them, naturally, the UK was very invested. Since 2016, plenty of singletons have stripped off in the hopes of finding love, and while for some, things didn’t work out, for others, sparks flew.

Chris Evans used his friendship with Ana de Armas to recruit her for their movie 'Ghosted' after Scarlett Johansson dropped out. Chris and Ana star in the new Apple TV Plus action movie but director Dexter Fletcher has revealed Scarlett had originally been cast to play the female lead partly because of her longtime friendship with the actor - and when she had scheduling issues, Chris had to bring in another of his female pals. Fletcher told The Hollywood Reporter: "I was lucky enough to get on well with Chris and meet him, and he was like: 'Look, Scarlett is a great friend.

Chris Evans shares the screen with Ana De Armas in his new movie Ghosted, but it also provided the opportunity for him to link up with some old co-stars again.

was underskilled on screen this time.The film, now streaming on Apple TV+, follows Cole (Evans) as he tries to find love with Sadie (Ana de Armas) after a pretty perfect spontaneous date. When she appears to be ghosting him, he plans a grand romantic gesture — at least…in his eyes — to show up in London, where he’s tracked her down to using his phone.

Chris Evans‘ new film Ghosted as “the worst of the year”.Directed by Dexter Fletcher (Rocketman, Bohemian Rhapsody), the romantic action-adventure sees Evans play Cole Turner, a farmer who falls for de Armas’ enigmatic Sadie Rhodes, only to discover that she’s a secret agent.“Before they can decide on a second date, Cole and Sadie are swept away on an international adventure to save the world,” reads a synopsis for the film.Released on Apple TV+ on April 21, Ghosted has been universally panned by critics and currently holds a “Rotten” score of 33% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Many have noted a lack of chemistry between the two leads, while others have taken aim at the film’s plot, script and CGI.In a one-star review, The Guardian wrote: “It’s utterly impossible to see the appeal of Ghosted, the movie, a staggeringly, maddeningly atrocious heap of increasingly boneheaded decisions that will act as depressing documentation of just how rotten things got in the current oversaturated streaming landscape.”Empire was similarly critical, writing: “If you’re going to take a hugely familiar premise and rely on easy star chemistry to sell it, you really need the right stars in the right roles and a killer script for all the killing.

Weeks after stating that they had no plans to move in together, Love Island star Ron Hall has admitted that he is "struggling" to be apart from his girlfriend, Lana Jenkins.The 25 year old Essex native and Manchester-based Lana were crowned runners-up on the ITV dating show, and in a new interview, Ron has admitted that they have only spent "six days apart since coming out". "Our end goal is to move in together, but at the minute, we want to be able to buy our own places and then eventually move in together," he said in a new interview with MailOnline.The financial advisor's comments echoed similar sentiments from the Love Island finale when he told Maya Jama that he looked forward to "missing" his girlfriend once they returned to their home bases in different parts of the country.

Following their grand Marvel success, filmmaking pair the Russo Brothers have irked many moviegoing audiences, filmmakers, journalists, and very-online social media audiences. Like James Cameron before them and his brand of smug irritation, their success has seemingly inflated an arrogance in them, and or, their epic box office accomplishments have made the media hang on to their every word and prop it up as something worth quoting (and we’re guilty of this too).

Chris Evans has revealed that hosting Saturday Night Live would immediately give him “anxiety” and that he has “avoided” the opportunity.During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actor was alongside his co-star Ana de Armas discussing their new film Ghosted. The conversation was introduced as the Blonde actress shared that she would be hosting SNL herself.When Evans was asked about a potential future appearance on the comedy sketch series, the Captain America actor said he would much rather make a small cameo than host the show.“Well, now a cameo I can handle,” Evans replied.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic The romantic action comedy has always had a breathlessly eager-to-please, overstuffed quality. You might say it’s a what’s-not-to-like genre. We laugh! With pulses racing! And swoon at the moonstruck chemistry! In a superior rom-act-com, like “Romancing the Stone” or “Out of Sight” or “True Lies” or the new “Murder Mystery” sequel, the action is the romance — it’s how the characters connect. (One way the form extends vintage Hollywood screwball is that it tends to be about couples who so dislike each other that only by joining in death-defying scrapes can they melt the ice.) But then there are movies like “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” where the love gets sandwiched between vehicular mayhem so aggressive it’s played for “laughs,” and the too-muchness of the whole thing becomes like one of those fast-food fusion experiments. Sorry, but the movie escapism equivalent of a burger topped with a quesadilla served with cheese fries is not my idea of a good time.  

Michaela Zee editor Chris Evans saved the world (and even the universe) multiple times as Captain America. But in his latest Apple TV+ action film “Ghosted,” it’s Ana de Armas who’s doing the rescuing. “It was great. I mean, we’ve all seen Ana be badass; she was so good in [‘No Time to Die’],” Evans told Variety at the New York premiere of “Ghosted” on Tuesday night. “It was nice to be the damsel in distress. It was nice to need saving — primarily because I didn’t have to sweat during the action sequences.” Directed by Dexter Fletcher (“Rocketman,” “Eddie the Eagle”), “Ghosted” follows hopelessly romantic Cole (Evans), who falls head over heels for the enigmatic Sadie (de Armas). When Sadie seemingly ghosts him, Cole follows her to London as a romantic gesture, only to discover that the girl of his dreams is a CIA agent on assignment.
