    More of this into my gob, please and thanks. An original, mid - budget spy thriller that's dense and plot - driven, from an auteur director and esteemed screenwriter. The stacked cast includes Moneypenny, and a former Bond playing a steely 'M' figure.

    Slightly more convoluted and scattered than I would've liked; type of film that benefits from a rewatch. But it's sharp, sleek and intelligent, with lush visuals, and a jazz score that's peculiar, but dark, moody, intriguing, and absolutely perfect for the material.

    'Snowpiercer' with cloning

    Doesn't exactly make the most of a premise ripe for countless fascinating dilemmas, regarding ethics and the human consciousness.

    As always, BJH excels at mixing genres and tones (sci - fi, comedy, thriller and social commentary) but this really isn't new territory for him, featuring a similar setting to 'Snowpiercer', exploring themes from that film and 'Parasite', and comparisons have been made to 'Okja', which I've not seen.

    Second half really tanked it for me; tangential, meandering, and drawn out.

    ★★★½

    Surprisingly funny, and it takes some interesting turns, which were thankfully hidden from trailers. However, it's also uneven, and stuffed with contrivances. Between this (featuring Shyamalan's musician daughter as the singer), and 'The Watchers' (directed by his other daughter), M. Night clearly doesn't care what you think about nepotism.
