I don’t get why less ratings for this here. I am completely with the audience’s Rotten tomatoes rating compared to critics and letterboxd users. This is how you turn a cliched/formulaic spy tropes in a film into something engaging and fun. Yes, everything we have seen before but this was slick and never felt exhaustive. Rami Malek is brilliant. Potential franchise. I would like to see more from the character - CHARLIE. I liked the way character is not one dimensional. Overall well made movie.
Really enjoyable. Definitely in line with classic thrillers like the Bourne identity though much more generic.
