No such luck with The Gorge. After a taut set-up, Scott Derrickson’s film gets restless and starts larking around that bit too soon, as moody Miles Teller and impish, punky Anya Taylor-Joy get together across the divide — even fitting in a gratuitous dance duet before the gorge disgorges its secrets.

The latter method turns out to be surprisingly successful in The Gorge, as director Scott Derrickson's (The Black Phone) new sci-fi thriller doubles as the world's most unlikely meet-cute. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) and Miles Teller (Spiderhead) as two highly skilled operatives who connect across the titular gorge.
