55% Informative

Thunderbolts

is designed as a tale of wayward misfits finding renewed purpose in life.

Florence Pugh’s weary assassin Yelena feels deadened by the loss of her sister.

The film leans into the doleful comedy of these once-wicked people contemplating the shambles they’ve made of themselves.

In that way, Thunderbolts

is almost quaint, a standalone and downbeat little side adventure into the more shadowy corners of a world governed by übermensches.

Alas, downbeat side adventures are not going to get the Marvel engine back up to full speed.

One nonetheless leaves Thunderbolting

wishing the powers that be would simply let them mope in peace.
