It’s okay for a film to simply be a romance. Ghosted doesn’t understand that at all, going the action route to the point that it fumbles its central relationship.
Directed by Dexter Fletcher from a screenplay by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Erik Sommers, and Chris McKenna, Ghosted is an unfunny waste of time, a romantic comedy that is too caught up in its spy subplot to be considered remotely entertaining. When even its leads have little chemistry to speak of, and the romantic comedy aspect is barely explored, the film, which has an identity crisis, isn’t worth your time.
Ghosted utilizes some Washington, DC locations well, including Georgetown, but that’s about all the good in the film. De Armas and Evans have lackluster chemistry at best, and while there are moments where their dynamic shows potential for more, the writing is wholly uninspiring and uninterested in developing their relationship beyond the surface. Everything in the story is working against their characters, and it’s unlikely you’ll be invested in them as individuals, much less as a couple.
