Page 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 9, 2021 MOVIE | FROM PAGE 19 there aren’t enough ideas at play here to justify such loaded imagery. The story finds Natasha forced to reconcile with her estranged family after an attempt is made on her life by a mute assassin named Taskmaster. In an intriguing twist, her family was formed in America during an undercover mission by her parents Alexei (an amusing David Harbour) and Melina (a Rachel Weisz without much to do), yet once Alexei’s cover is blown, the unit is quickly disbanded, and Natasha and her sister Yelena (Florence Pugh, also wasted here) are turned over to a shady government program in Russia. The fi lm is at its strongest when exploring the strained dynamics between this highly dysfunctional family. A stretch in the middle shows both sisters confronting their parents about the falsehoods of their upbringing. To mom and dad, it was an assignment that got a little too personal; to Natasha and Yelena, it was their entire lives.
