WORST OF THE WORST: INFINITE
Another Mark Wahlberg action flick is here and will be forgotten in no time. Reuniting with his Shooter director, Antoine Fuqua, their ridiculous reincarnation story of the battle between Believers and Nihilists and memories being past lives is totally tiresome. Wahlberg plays Evan Michaels who used to be Heinrich Treadway (Dylan O’Brien) who stole an egg-shaped weapon, but can’t remember in this life where he hid it. If only he didn’t have that damn steel plate in his head. Then we have the evil-minded Ted Murray, played by a scene-chewing Chiwetel Ejiofor, who’s so over the whole living multiple lives thing. He’s more than ready to wipe out the world and really needs that egg of mass destruction to do it. When it comes to the action, characters, and performances – they all feel lazy or flat-out lifeless. Seriously, there’s very little here to suggest Fuqua and Wahlberg aren’t half-assing this across the board.
