WhileWill Smithis still riding high on the success ofBad Boys: Ride or Die, another recent film from the star that drew comparisons to a popular Marvel movie has returned to streaming charts six years later. Smith stars alongsideMary Elizabeth Winstead(Ahsoka) andClive Owen(Cleaner) inGemini Man, the 2019 action thriller following an older hitman who faces off against a younger clone of himself.Gemini Manis streaming on Paramount+ globally, where it’s become one of the top 10 most popular movies in over 15 countries, including Venezuela, Paraguay, and Mexico. The film earned a “Rotten” 27% from critics onRotten Tomatoesbut a solid 83% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter. Unfortunately, it grossed only $173 million globally against a $138 million budget, leaving it short of its break-even point.
Gemini Manis, unfortunately,not streaming anywhere in the United States, but the film is available to rent or purchase on VOD for a reasonable price. However, due to its rising popularity on streaming overseas, it likely won’t be long before a platform grabs the rights to stream it for a few months. Upon release,Gemini Manimmediately drew comparisons toHugh Jackman’sLogan, and the similarities are hard to deny. Both Logan (Jackman) and Henry Brogan (Will Smith) are former legends who are on the down-and-out, and both have to face off against a younger version of themselves who was cloned by an organization they work to take down. Fans and critics agreed thatLoganexecuted the concept more soundly— it earned a “Certified Fresh” 91% from critics and 93% from audiences onRotten Tomatoes.
