Gemini Man (2019)

Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

If there is someone you want to put on the screen twice, then I understand it being Will Smith, and the rest of the cast is great. This might even have been the role that got Mary Elizabeth Winstead into the Huntress role later on.

I think they specifically reference it a some point in the movie, but a lot of the story is Will Smith fighting himself. The action sequences are solid, the scary secret spy organization is scary and secretive, and there are even a few "twists" along the way.

My biggest problem is that this entire movie is unnecessary. If Clive Owen's character wasn't basically a super villain, then he could have left old Will Smith retire and no one would be the wiser. That might have possibly been a better movie, though I think Star Wars might be a point against me there.

Long short: it's good, it's great action, it's not world moving, but does include a touch of sci-fi (/sci-fact, we're on that border). It just has a bad clash of reality that people and organizations like that exist, and we pay for them.
