Netflix dropped a whopping $200 million ($50 million shy of the budget for “No Time To Die”) on the visually grand adaptation of Mark Greaney’s spy novels in hopes that it kicks off a popular movie series along the lines of James Bond, “The Bourne Identity,” “Mission: Impossible” and “John Wick.” Best of luck! That’s an awfully tall order when your film doesn’t have a strong main character.James Bond is King Lear next to Sierra Six — played by a cold and demure Gosling — an imprisoned murderer who has his sentence commuted in exchange for becoming a trained underground killer for the CIA. He carries out secret unsavory missions for the government.When Six is lured into the gig by his handler Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton), he’s told, “You’ll exist in the gray.” Six replies: “Disposable?”Yup. Skip ahead 18 years.
After a questionable new handler (Page) instructs him to kill another agent, Sierra Four, Six discovers his own life is also in danger from the CIA and goes on the run — with damaging intel in tow. He’s doggedly pursued around the world by an agent-turned-mercenary named Lloyd Hansen (Evans, choosing nondescript wackiness) and joined for a bit by another wax figure called Dani (Armas doing her best Mrs. Cellophane). Six also needs to rescue Fitzroy’s young niece, who has been kidnapped by Hansen.The actors, while uniformly bland, are not entirely at fault for their characters’ shortcomings and the overly familiar guy-goes-rogue plot. That would be writers Joe Russo, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.
Their story is typical, perfunctory spy-thrilled Mad Libs. And they have everybody speak in annoying secret-agent government lingo that’s neither creatively stylized nor believable — like a judge yelling
