A movie can be carried by three things: a good plot, amazing visuals or interesting characters. This one had none of it, except for historically mostly accurate sets, which really stood out in this absolute waste of data.

The plot itself is mostly based on a conspiracy theory, and the characters are either the most goody-two shoes boyscout characters, while the antagonists are only fueled by the power of pure evil. I'm not even kidding, Voldemort and the Emperor aren't even close. And what for? Well, prepare to die with that question, because even Darren Cross in Ant-Man seems to have fairly valid motivations in comparison.

The cinematography is just... meh? It's got no personality whatsoever, and it just feels like it's shot with a generic template for an action movie (which is really dumb, because this is the most boring pile of crap I've ever seen).

The pacing is also so off... Even living through the whole thing in real time seemed to have better flow than sitting through this movie.

All in all, this kind of good vs. Evil story wouldn't hold up in 2021 even if the villains had reasonable motivations, because there are zero shades thrown around, it's pure black and white. Any spoiler warning is completely useless, because there is literally nothing to spoil in this plot.

And don't get me started on the "marketing" of this movie.

0/10, worse than Daredevil 2004, but at least that was sometimes funny.

Finally I could watch free (I didn't want to watch it in the cinema because I paid the price of the filming with my tax) this "political drama" after it was on show on the Hungarian TV channel TV2.

If I had to describe it in one word: terrible. Don't watch it, it is a 2 hours long suffering. The sounds are unclassifiable, you can't hear the dialogues in the most scenes. The story is untraceable. The acting performance is below average, it seems they did it only for a lot of money.

The purpose of the film isn't the entertainment. It has just one purpose: character murder of Klára Dobrev before the Hungarian election in April, 2022. Tiny beauty flaw that the prime minister nominee isn't Dobrev.

So my rating is 1* becaust this isn't a real movie, this is just another one propaganda product of the Hungarian government from the tax-payers money. From that money which could be much more useful in the health care or in the education, where people earn less money than an operator in a factory. This is a shame...

Spending so much money on such a bad movie is a shame. Utterly boring, horrible acting and a very chaotic and unrealistic script makes this movie a waste of time.

I'm okay with the story, but the timeline is slow. The actors are not professionals.

I have watched two movies/series this week. One is this movie and another or a series. The amount of effor went into this movie is horrible. The acting is horrible and feels like I am watching a Brazil soap opera the After watching an animated show about sibilings this is still worst. Go watch Arcane from Netflix! It's great compared to this dump!
