After colleagues start being murdered and Brogan learns that his last target was merely a scientist and not a terrorist, he goes on the run with Danny who, as expected, is also an agent. Of course, nothing is as it seems in movies like this. Is she a plant sent to keep tabs on him, perhaps an employee of Lassiter’s frenemy colleague Clay Verris ( Clive Owen)?
As spies are wont to do, Brogan expresses suspicion about this change. He retires, returning to a boat dock where his normal boat renting guy has been replaced by Danny Zakarweski ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Brogan’s mark takes it in the neck rather than the intended head shot, and though it’s still a lethal wound, Brogan sees this as the final nail in the coffin of his career. A target on a train whose tracks curve wildly toward the screen as it flies by at unimaginable speed. Brogan is so good he can hit a target on a moving train from hundreds of feet away. Story-wise, Smith plays Henry Brogan, a highly skilled assassin working for an intelligence agency run by Janet Lassiter ( Linda Emond). It’s so obnoxious that I know of two critics who walked out after 30 minutes. In fact, it looks worse, like a hellish cross between a video game and a telenovela. Yet 120 frames per second looks exactly like motion smoothing. Tom Cruise, Paramount’s current bread and butter, made a video scolding mere mortals like a Southern grandmother for using the motion smoothing setting on their televisions. At five times the original rate of film running through the projector, “Gemini Man” looks radically different than most movies.

As a point of reference using a more familiar movie, “The Hobbit” series ran at 48 frames per second. Lee’s prior film, “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk,” also used this frame rate. Paramount presented the critics’ screening in the format Ang Lee made it, 120 frames per second and in 3-D. Well, I hated one aspect of it, which I should get out of the way now because it will probably not affect most ticket-buyers. Quite honestly, I didn’t know what to think of “Gemini Man” once the credits started rolling.
