Irving travels to Andalusia passionate about the idea of visiting the Alhambra, there Dalgoruki meets a Russian friend who becomes his traveling companion. Everything is complicated when they accidentally meet Carmen. The girl is the last descendant of Boabdil, a Moorish king. She tells of an important prophecy that will defeat the evil Ali, who betrayed the king Boabdil to achieve mastery of the land. But the only way to get the power is for the last descendant of Boabdil to die.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
A young girl named Hailey Mays sings a country song that is named after the film's title.
“To be universal, you have to get specific”: while the film does not attempt to provoke discussions about queerness or race, those watching closely may find something resonant in Sorrentino’s love letter to the Naples of his youth.
Like Fourth of July fireworks, the film Honey Don’t is colorful and fun to look at, delivering many bangs (sex and guns!) for your buck before quietly fading out.
