Review of One Ranger

One Ranger (2023)
3/10
Two vs the bleh
9 May 2023
What I watched it for, and what I've enjoyed, is the two main protagonists - or rather actors playing said protagonists, Dominique Tipper and Thomas Jane. They pretty much reprise their performance in the Expanse TV show (just in a more earthly environment), but that's a good thing - a tired badass of a ranger and an energetic badass of an operative, it's all I wanted from this movie.

So that's good.

What's not good is everything else - the moment I start thinking about the plot, I wish I didn't for it's inexplicably cringy and hole-ridden; the moment I recall the performance of actors playing villains, I want to get back thinking about protagonists, or maybe even the plot; the moment I think about John Malkovich's acting in this movie, the villains stalt looking not half as bad as they did before.

So if you also want to watch another performance of Thomas Jane and Dominique Tipper, go for it, but be mindful (or mindless) about the rest. If you don't, just skip it - it's very bad otherwise.
