The review of “Thunderbolts” highlights Florence Pugh’s performance as Yelena Belova as the film’s standout element in an otherwise messy Marvel production. The movie features a team of flawed antiheroes navigating their emotional struggles more than their battles against villains. While the narrative suffers from forced storytelling and tonal inconsistencies, it attempts to explore themes of therapy and redemption. Pugh’s ability to convey depth in her character amidst the chaos provides the film with some much-needed emotional resonance. Overall, “Thunderbolts” is seen as a refreshing departure from recent Marvel misfires, thanks largely to Pugh’s compelling portrayal.
