Tease: In _____ minutes, critics are shredding this new Mark Wahlberg movie
Mark Wahlberg’s new action movie Infinite is getting absolutely torched by critics. The Matrix-esque knock-off was released yesterday on Paramount Plus. Roger Ebert called it ‘the worst’ of director Antoine Fuqua’s career. It currently has a 19% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I’d have to agree, but it’s still not The Happening or Planet of the Apes bad. (Additional out) Hey, they can’t all be Boogie Nights or The Departed, you make enough movies some of them are gonna stink.
