Blake Lively's assassin flick TheRhythmSection can't find the beat. Read Peter Travers' review
Jose Haro/Paramount Picturesgets in a few good licks. Stephanie Patrick, the wannabe assassin played by Blake Lively, is sure as hell not cut out for the job. She scares easy, fumbles with guns, and can’t fight for shit. Charlize Theron’s Atomic Blonde would laugh her off the screen. But don’t mistake this busy-work thriller for a comedy.
Lively gives everything she’s got to the role, including a credible British accent and a willingness to look like crap. Director Reed Morano, an Emmy winner for, never misses a chance to light her fire. So what goes wrong? The problem is the script, written by author Burnell , whose twists feel generic and narratively lazy.
