John Cena Coasts in This Bland Action-Filled Thriller From Extraction Director Sam Hargrave
Inspired by the Mattel toys, John Cena plays an undercover agent who unwittingly involves his friends in an uninteresting adventure across the world.
Following in the footsteps of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, Matchbox The Movie tries to replicate the formula. However, it falls flat in its execution. The only thing impressive about the spy thriller is its high-octane action stunts and sequence envisaged by Extraction director Sam Hargrave. John Cena is the spy in question as he reunites with old friends to go down memory road and instead takes them as hostages in a plot to save the world. The Matchbox IP never properly lands, and the narrative doesn’t even connect.
