I think it's a great role for Evans, he does it perfectly, and it's fun to see him play the bad guy and not the uptight Captain America type, while Gosling is the hero the calm, collated guy who knows how to get himself out of any situation. The movie is an amazing action movie.
There aren't many action thrillers around him or all we get is superhero movies and I think it's a nice way to change the over saturated superhero market and to try something new, and it's nice that it was directed by Russo Brothers who also directed a few Marvel movies over the years. It's a fun movie.
Critics might not like the movie as much, but I guess they're looking for something else in these movies, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think most people will watch it. The best part is the movie does exactly what it's supposed to do, have a lot of action scenes, a lot of fight scenes, a lot of explosions, a dream crashing, car chase, a sky crashing, and to end combat scenes, a lot of guns.
If you're a movie fan who loves action, then this will definitely be the movie for you.
