The Rookies (2019)
1/10
Waste of time.

This is most certain amongst the worst films I have ever seen. It's really seldom that I give a film the character 1, but this movie doesn't really deserve more.

To my surprise the producers of this Chinese / Hungarian co-production successeed in having Milla Jovovich in a quite small role. She plays the international agent Bruce. Surprising because Jovovich has made a fine career out of the Resident Evil films, and this is nowhere near that quality.

The film starts out as a try to be like a Get Smart / Johnny English kind of film, it's just that it isn't funny at all. Mainly because the lead actor Tula Wang, playing the part of Zhao Feng is really bad at playing this fresh type! The only actor that shows a bit of skill is Sandrine Pinna, as Miao Yun. Later on action in the film is nearing a try of being a James Bond piece. That fails miserably.

Directed by Alan Yuen, who surprisingly have directed more films. A film fill of stunts, CGI, and to please a younger, western public, even with a bit of rap.

There is really now way to recommend this, well, only if you are a Milla Jovovich fan, and gotta see every film she has been in.
