Review of The Man from Toronto (2022) by Imtheonlytye — 28 Jun 2022

The only decent qualities of this movie was Kevin Hart's comedy, Woody Harrelson's presence and some of the fighting scenes. The plot was weird and boring. No memorable villains. And I felt like I was just thrown into something that I basically know nothing about.

Very underperformed generic action movie. A lot of things were blatantly fake, like explosions and fire, and when you see them driving in the car the green screen is painfully obvious. I did enjoy some fighting scenes, but one of them had horrible cinematography.

They would do weird cuts that were obvious. It's as if a newly graduated film college student edited this movie and did the cinematography. There were also parts where Kevin Hart would get shot or severely hurt, but then 2 mins later he would be fighting or moving as if he never got hurt.

What pissed me off the most though, as a fellow Canadian that's from Toronto, is when they mispronounced Toronto... I understand for the American characters, but Woody's character is supposed to be from Toronto and yet he also mispronounced it.

Did they not have any people from Toronto, or at least Canadians, to help work on this movie? Not one person told anyone how to properly pronounce it? It's not the biggest deal, but it made me dislike the movie the most.

I cringed so hard when they mispronounced it. That's just my personal bias. Like I said, I understand why the American characters would mispronounce it, but not the Canadian characters... They filmed this movie in Toronto and they still failed to pronounce it properly.

That is just disrespectful, in my opinion. Anyway, I digress. I thought I was gonna like this movie, but I ended up very much disliking it.
