Yeah, not bad, light, slight adventure... The Rock is always the same Muppet. But Reynolds really appeals to the cynics!

Way better than that recent James Bond debacle.

David Fincher has more than enough A-Level experience to deliver this Hollywood insider powerhouse. Political commentary of the 1930's comes to full-circle-relevance for our current time, against the joyously-romantic visuals of cinema's golden age. Oldman is delightful; the sharp-tongued dialogue elevates the piece. Technique delivers everything you'd expect from Fincher. A captivating time-capsule romantic period study. My 2020 best picture pick bar none.

This movie left me bewildered and frustrated as all hell! The story had all the makings of a great corrupt cop picture. In the hands of a worthwhile director it might have even been worthy of a theatrical release. The talent was all there. The location and story were there as well. The director of photography should be charged with a crime for making the picture look like an eight year old with ADHD and a handycam shot it! This absolutely ruined everything from the start, and was distracting and throughout. Surprisingly, about half-way in, everything starts to click, the imagery is less annoying, and the story comes together. The director is horribly inept, but somehow they completed the picture. I feel bad for everyone involved watching the finished product. They also must have seen a vision in a worthwhile script, which was ultimately devastated by the hacks at Millennium Films, and the talentless director. So frustrating.
