    One of those instances where it was glaringly obvious that this was a first time script & directing effort. Didn't feel like it explored any of the themes it hinted at. Like someone wanted to make a goofy Ex Machina but also didn't know how to write comedy very well and ended up with an undercooked plot of a Black Mirror episode instead.

    If you like your spy thrillers smart, sexy & a bit dry then you're gonna be in hog heaven. Loved this! Soderbergh & Koepp keep knocking em outta the park.

    This might take me a few watches to fully appreciate it. I was kind of at odds with myself for the entire runtime. Constantly having to remind myself that George Miller clearly didn't want to make Fury Road 2 but I wasn't fully prepared for it to feel this different. But that's a good thing. We don't need to be remaking the same film over and over again. In some ways it felt more similar to his last film, 3000…

    Always wanted to see this on the big screen & was pretty bummed I missed it when it was in IMAX. I lucked out & the Hollywood Theatre was showing it in 35mm on a day off! Not the biggest Paltrow fan but it's pretty amazing how much she adds to this especially with as little screen time as she gets. I really wish modern movies would learn how to light dark, dingy scenes. Love the way this looks.
