Started strong with the Mr. robot vibes Then got senseless and used every character horridly.
first 30 minutes were absolute dogshit that much I can say.. the rest was somewhat intriguing but the way it ended kind of dissapointed me man! watched this for rami malek and he carried the whole thing I just don't think there's anything special to this except rami malek making that flushed face every 30 minutes. now the funny thing is I found it stupid so many times.. he starts training for 2 days then runs away and they write him off with "he played us and got some training" DUDE HE WAS THERE FOR ONLY LIKE 2 DAYS FYM GOT SOME TRIANING. anyway I really expected this being a badass john wick like movie and it would be exciting to see rami playing that role but he only slimed out 2 people chalantly..
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.
