Maybe this movie should’ve been left on read.

Fletcher is known for his operatic filming style, but every frame ofGhostedis predictable and dull.

But their arguments never read as sexy or charged, so much as laced with genuine annoyance.

Not to mention that a movie should never live or die by its cameos.

It’s a real shame because both Evans and de Armas are real talents.

Meanwhile, de Armas is wooden and rote.

Adrien Brodyalso features as baddie Leveque, but even his prodigious talents are wasted.

He adopts a vaguely European accent that is supposed to be French.

The half-hearted accent tracks with the fact that he seems immensely bored in every scene.

On paper,Ghostedshould work.
