Review of Infinite

Infinite (2021)
5/10
hints of originality fades into forgettable action

Warning: Spoilers
"Infinites" are people who have achieved a form of immortality through reincarnation. They have split into two groups in a battle of good versus evil. Evan McCauley (Mark Wahlberg) has always have knowledge beyond his experience. He forges a sword for a drug dealer in exchange for illegal meds to keep his sanity. He gets arrested and attacked by Bathurst (Chiwetel Ejiofor). He is saved by Nora Brightman who brings him into the world of the Infinites.

This seems to have an intriguing elevator pitch. It's the story of reincarnation as a superhero movie. So the start seems fine. The drug dealer, the police station, and the epic escape are all fine. Once the movie starts doing expositions, it completely stalls. Wahlberg starts reverting back to his Wahlberg mannerisms. It's the blandest of action thrillers and the most bombastic. It takes any hint of original concept and turns it into forgettable non-descript action.
