Samara Weaving's new thriller, "Eenie Meanie," has arrived on Hulu, and fans are sharing their initial reactions to the high-speed heist film. Many are praising the movie's blend of action, comedy, and character-driven storytelling, with some even calling it "hilarious".

"Eenie Meanie" stars Weaving as Edie, a former teenage getaway driver trying to live a reformed life. However, she is pulled back into her unsavory past when a former employer offers her a chance to save her chronically unreliable ex-boyfriend, John, played by Karl Glusman. To save John, Edie must participate in one last heist involving stealing a prize-laden car with $3 million in the trunk from a casino. The film also stars Andy Garcia as Nico, the mob boss, as well as Randall Park, Marshawn Lynch, Steve Zahn, and Jermaine Fowler. Shawn Simmons writes and directs "Eenie Meanie".

Several reviewers highlight Weaving's performance as a major strength of the film. She embodies Edie's vulnerability and inner fortitude, carrying the film through its various twists and turns. Weaving's ability to shift from "Final Girl chutzpah" to action lead is also commended. Some have noted that Weaving's charisma elevates the movie, and she was the perfect choice to lead the story.

Critics have noted the film's comedic elements, with some comparing it to the works of Guy Ritchie. The dialogue is quippy, and the characters are amusing, adding to the film's entertainment value. The ensemble cast, including Andy Garcia and Mike O'Malley, contribute to the humor with their comedic timing and quirky performances.

The film blends genres and balances emotion with high-octane action. The stunt work and car chases are refreshingly grounded, contributing to the film's old-school vibe. However, some critics note tonal inconsistencies, with the film struggling to balance its comedic and serious elements. Some find that the humor occasionally undermines the drama.

"Eenie Meanie" is a character-driven film that explores themes of love, loyalty, and morality. Edie's struggles with her past and her relationship with John add emotional weight to the action-packed plot. The film also examines the moral complexities of crime and the challenges of breaking free from a criminal past.

Overall, "Eenie Meanie" is a fun and entertaining watch, with Weaving's performance and Simmons' direction being praised. While some critics point out its familiar narrative and tonal inconsistencies, the film's action, humor, and character-driven story make it a worthwhile viewing experience.
