Will Smith is usually an asset for a movie. He’s
the kind of true movie star whose charisma can
elevate even the most mediocre material. You’d
think then that it would be a good thing to have
not just one but two Will Smiths in a movie if you
can. That was at least part of the idea behind
”Gemini Man .” The action film from Ang Lee
also uses state of the art de-aging technology
to create a basically believable 20-something
version of Smith and has billed itself as a “true
event film” that “redefines action cinema.”
Those are some lofty claims, but unfortunately
its biggest accomplishment seems to be in
sapping all the charm out of Smith (twice!).
