So... Ghosted. The reviews seem poor, but I don't know what they're smoking. That was a fun little film. (Spoils)

It delivers what it promises to deliver, which is more than some movies I can think of. Due to being pretty tightly plotted and constrained storyline-wise, I think the end result is better than The Gray Man. Definitely better than Operation Fortune.

For a moment I was considering its nearest comparison would be Lost City, but then I realized everyone in that movie was a fish out of water (except Pitt), whereas in this one it's only Cole.

The best comparison seems to be Knight and Day. I suppose technically that one might be better, but I think Ghosted holds its own.

The sequence with the bounty hunters progressively bumping each other off was brilliant. Shout-out to Spike Spiegel.

And the cameo of the one-eyed man was very amusing. I wonder what the subtext was trying to say with all her exes having their scars on the outside? Apart from how dangerous she is, I mean.
