This movie is a lot of fun. Awkwafina and John Cena have great comedic chemistry together; throwing out one liners has always been one of her strengths, and Cena's character is the perfect foil for that. There's quite a bit of action, but the back-and-forth between Awkwafina and Cena -- and with the numerous side characters as well -- serves to keep the action from being too intense.
The movie is not without its faults. Chief among the downsides is Awkwafina's character's backstory: every aspect of it is trite and just shows weak writing -- which is odd, because the premise of the movie itself is quite original and imaginative. Secondly, I liked Simu Liu in "Kim's Convenience", but he really has no range to his acting and his character was difficult to watch.
All things considered, I enjoyed the movie and would give it a B+
