TL;DR Summary

Mayday delivers a stylish 1987-set buddy caper that pairs Ryan Reynolds with Kenneth Branagh; strong direction and action pacing anchor the film, Branagh shines in a grounded, standout performance, though some supporting roles feel underused and Reynolds occasionally leans into his trademark persona.
