in 2020, i rated this 5* but on a rewatch i’d give it 3.5*
it’s still as exciting on my tv as it was when i first watched it in imax but it’s hard to ignore the lack of emotional depth. the goodbye at the end was the most this movie made me feel and i think nolan should have explored that dynamic a bit more
it’s fun and it’s garbage, and mbj carries it with heart-wrenching love for his wife and daughter
but also it’s a fun garbage spy film lead by two brilliant actors who are also black so i think it shows that the industry might be moving towards letting marginalised people being able to just have fun in genre movies
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
i’m so horny for this movie i don’t even know where to start:
• i knew the plane scene was coming and yet the sheer grandiose of it. brought me close to the edge
• the tallinn highway scene. well choreographed crashing of expensive cars might be my kink???
• the many, many maxima billboards (only true baltic kids understand)
• the second-half airport fight scene. i had to pick my jaw off the floor
• the moment i realised…
999 hi i have a severe crush on florence pugh no please it’s an emergency
