Mayday's Midlife Crisis of Action Comedy The latest Ryan Reynolds vehicle, Mayday, is a curious beast: a throwback to the action comedies of yesteryear.
Set in 1987, this Apple TV production attempts to recapture the spirit of its predecessors but ultimately stumbles into predictability and absurdity.
The story follows Reynolds' Troy Kelly, a naval pilot who crash lands in Soviet Russia and befriends Kenneth Branagh's Nikolai Ustinov, a charming KGB agent with a penchant for American culture.
