While IGN critic Tom Jorgenson notes some recycled MCU plot elements, he praises Mackie's performance, highlighting his ability to portray Sam's multifaceted personality alongside veterans like Harrison Ford, Carl Lumbly, and Tim Blake Nelson. Whether these strong performances are enough to elevate the film is ultimately up to you.
