Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams
strike comic gold — or at least silver plate — as a hyper - competitive game - crazy couple whose suburban couples gaming party goes way off the rails when an equally competitive globe - trotting / high rolling brother to the husband (Kyle Chandler, cast against type) comes home, initiates a murder / kidnapping mystery game that is in turn hijacked by real hoodlums who play for keeps.
But with «Ant - Man,» Marvel has taken the formula and
struck gold again, creating a serviceable action / adventure comedy from a third - tier character that even most
comics fans would acknowledge is stretching the limits of expectations of quality.
