Part of being a spy is being able to blend in and not raise suspicion... the character didn't want to stand out... but don't make the mistake of thinking she couldn't take you... she's lethally trained in hand to hand combat.
This movie was shot on film... only the final boxing match was filmed on HD video.
It has a more modern, but similar look to the very first movie in which a lot of handheld and steadicam shots were used.
They had a very small production budget (24 million) and Sly has said many times that making this installment and getting it greenlit was the most difficult in the entire Rocky series.
I love this movie... has aged great.
How old was she supposed to be to be "able" to film those scenes?

I'm pretty sure it will outgross the first one.
You are wrong, this will be at least a mild hit.
Yeah, watchable movie (by the numbers) but some scenes look like shit.
Also the bridge scene where they try to run him over with a truck reminded me of terrible CGI from the early 2000s... What Lies Beneath and Along Came a Spider used similar looking effects.
The director has been bad mouthing Amazon saying this movie deserved to be released in theaters... but they didn't really upgrade much storywise... I can't rate this movie more than a 5 or 6 at most.
Definitely deserved going straight to streaming.
Even though it's owned/produced by Disney I don't think doing a revival of a Fox Kids animated show that was cancelled almost 30 years ago was at the top of their priorities.
Better than no revival at all.
Not talking about this project in particular... but I don't get the appeal either... makes me think I'm just getting old/er and starting to be out of touch.
I saw the clip on youtube... it seems like he just announced the winner without presenting the other nominated movies before opening the envelope... is that what happened?
Had to look it up... I haven't watched this movie in so long.
It is my understanding that even if you don't have sex with someone, you can get in lots of trouble for just touching someone/anyone minor or adult - even worse if its with sexual intentions.
In Lester's case in particular during those last 20 minutes...
We are watching a 42 year old man and a 17 year old girl.
The movie takes place in Chicago, Illinois.
Assuming that the events during the last 20 minutes in the movie take place in the real world.
Lester offers Angela a beer - she is 17... that is a misdemeanor in Chicago.
All other sexual interactions (the kiss, caressing, blouse unbuttoning) would 100% be illegal between a 42 year old and a 17 year old... almost anywhere else in the US.
Except that American Beauty takes place in Chicago where the age of consent is 17 and "Angela" despite being a minor is that age and can consent.
Now, morally - most people would disapprove of a man of Lester's age being involved with a 17 year old, but I don't think he would get in trouble as long as Angela maintains that it was consensual (everything depends a lot on her and what she claims happened - regardless of her age) if authorities are involved.
He would be in deep trouble if the age of consent was 18 though... there was some sort of predatory sexual assault and I'm sure Lester would be going to jail for at least a handful of years.
What did he do? Fantasize about her?
I guess not criminal then since that's out of his control, involuntary.
Yeah, this makes sense when thinking about the movie again. Thanks.
I'm watching it right now on Amazon... I'm just a casual movie fan with no knowledge of the technical part... but to my eyes this does look like sh!t
Idk if it takes some time to get used to... but so far I don't like it.
I guess it is borrowing from the style used in the Into-The Spiderverse movies... but looks like cheaper / unfinished?
Would be a lot more if he hadn't taken a break from Hollywood and also his divorce.
I saw this last week and was kinda upset... graphics look like from 2012 and wish it had been 3rd person instead of 1st person. I love everything Indy but this feels so cheap.
I couldn't finish it... will try again though.
It's ridiculous and fun... very entertaining if you come in with the right mindset.
Wonderful movie.
I consider Se7en to be like a 'spiritual companion' to it.

Reading the replies I think OP is actually a troll and we all fell for it.
