How is Ghosted, with Chris Evans and Ana de Armas: action comedy, silly, but entertaining

Love is like that, it comes unexpectedly and it can be at first sight.

Cole (

) is at his fairground stall on the outskirts of Washington when he sees Sadie (Ana de Armas), who wants to buy a plant that doesn't need a lot of water because she's not home much because of her job. .

And yes, we will see that he is little or nothing at home, and it will be when he ends up with Cole making love, after that first sight, his date immediately and a night together.

, with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, puts a rhythm at almost two hours -OK, there are many final credits-.

The villain is played by Adrien Brody, who usually repeats himself when he's bad, although here the script gives him lines of dialogue with jokes or the odd occurrence, because this is a comedy and you have to seem funny.
