Your thoughts?
Lupita cannot carry a movie. She is not a box office darling. She’s very attractive & seamless on camera, but people simply will not run to theaters to see her in the role of a damn spy. The investment was a waste of Universal’s money & anyone with a critical mindset should’ve have been aware of this FACT.
