11/9/2023 0 Comments Gemini movie cast![]() Everything else within the standards categories that I mentioned (set decorations, costumes, cinematography) are all fine, but none of them stand out of being noteworthy. What definitely stands out in the movie are the movie’s various set-pieces and locations, which sort of felt like a Jason Bourne motifs of various European motifs and locales. In its presentation category, Gemini Man looks pretty good and is definitely “on par” with the movie industry standards. Additionally, there are a few action sequences (most notable in the first and second act) that are well-staged and do create some entertaining pieces that actually do work. The movie delves into the psyche minds of both Henry and Junior (Henry’s younger cloned version of himself) creating a interesting take on the “double trouble” aspect that’s mingled with ambiguity and doubt. There are some interesting ideas that the movie toils with, but majority of the film is just bland and mediocre.Īs I mentioned, Gemini Man is directed Ang Lee and he certainly plays with some ambitious ideas, which the famed director is customary to interjecting within his feature films. Despite an interesting concept and solid performance from Will Smith, Gemini Man adequately meanders its way through a bland storytelling narrative. So, I went to see Gemini Man a few weeks after its theatrical release and to see if the movie’s hype / appeal was worth it. Like what a good movie trailer is supposed to do, it definitely got me interested in seeing the movie as it looked poised to be a solid sci-fi action movie endeavor. Personally, I wasn’t even aware of the movie until the film’s movie trailers were released, which certainly did highlight the movie’s story as well as the whole sci-fi “double trouble” of Will Smith’s character. To be quite honest, I really didn’t hear much about this movie when it was first announced. Of course, the brings me back to talking about Lee’s latest film Gemini Man. Still, despite a few misfires, Lee has a talent for cinematic storytelling with nuances of visual flairs and engaging narratives. like Hulk and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk both of which could’ve been much better. On the other hand, I think some of his movie didn’t leave up to their own hype…. ![]() Of course, I personally liked Sense and Sensibility as perhaps my favorite one of his, with Life of Pi being my second favorite. Sure, he isn’t reached a famed legendary as Stephen Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, and Francis Ford Coppola, but Lee has certainly cultivated a reputation and accolades within his feature releases. Henry crosses path with Junior (Will Smith), a younger clone of Henry, who’s been trained at the black ops organization known as GEMINI, becoming a top assassin with new orders from its head man Clay Varris (Clive Owen) to seek and destroy Henry.Īs I mentioned above, Ang Lee is certainly made a director’s name for himself. Taking off for safety, Henry unexpectedly forms a bond with Dani Zakarweski (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a fellow agent whose eyes have been opened to the murderous agenda that their government can exercise without remorse, and is joined by old ally friend Baron (Benedict Wong) as they attempt to understand who’s behind the original order. Unfortunately, the government isn’t going to allow his freedom so lightly, trying to take out Henry and his friend, Jack (Douglas Hodge), who’s killed while attempting to warn his pal about incoming threats. However, the years are starting to catch up to veteran, who’s 50-year-old and looking at his retirement, trying to slip out of sight and find solace with the simple life. Henry Brogan (Will Smith) is a seasoned government assassin, cultivating over 72 kills during his esteemed career, making him one of the deadliest agents around. Does the film find its entertaining rhythm or does it flounder within its “double trouble” premise? Now, Paramount Pictures and director Ang Lee releases the latest film in Lee’s catalogue with the sci-fi drama movie Gemini Man. ![]() After that, Lee went on to produce other films within a wide range of genres, including the 1997 drama Ice Storm, the 2000 martial arts epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the 2003 superhero movie Hulk, the 2005 romantic drama Brokeback Mountain, and the 2012 visual magic survival film Life of Pi. While he had previous helmed theatrical features, Lee’s certainly made his “big splash” (in Hollywood) with the release of 1995’s Sense and Sensibility, which he received critical praise in adapting Jane Austen’s tale to the silver screen. Film director Ang Lee has certainly made a name for himself in Hollywood as a visual storyteller within his various projects.
