The Paramount movie Infinite, delayed due to the pandemic and now punted straight to Paramount Plus, is profoundly incoherent, and the terrible performances and muddled plotting don’t help. Mark Wahlberg stars as a reincarnating warrior with a lot of past lives, fighting an enemy who wants to wipe out humanity. It steals from everything from The Matrix to The Old Guard, without finding its own feet. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Toby Jones, Sophie Cookson, and Jason Mantzoukas co-star. Now streaming.
If it feels to you like the new Mark Wahlberg movie
Infinite came out of nowhere, it turns out Mark Wahlberg is just as surprised. According to an article in the Hollywood Reporter a couple of weeks ago, it wasn’t until a May earnings call that Wahlberg and the film’s director, Antoine Fuqua, found out that the movie was skipping theaters and going straight to the new streaming service Paramount+. (It’s out Thursday.) The marketing hasn’t done much to clear up the mystery, either. The movie didn’t even get a trailer until Memorial Day, less than two weeks before its release, and even then, the trailer raised more questions than it answers.
