    Amazing acting and worth watching for that alone.

    The premise is interesting due to the mysterious nature of the papal election process and setting of the Vatican. I don’t know what I was expecting when I started the movie, maybe some Angels and Demons with Tom Hanks running around Rome mixed with a murder mystery like Knives Out. It wasn’t either of those. I really didn’t think it was a suspense film. Saw the outcome from the beginning and the “twist” felt kind of cheap.

    Amazing performance by Christian Bale. Love his character and the way that he conveys this hard headed mechanic/racer and the dynamic between him following his personal dreams and carrying the burden of providing for his wife and son. 

    The antagonist of corporate america is great, with the Home Depot voice dude from Sweet Home Alabama playing a guy you love to hate. 

    Was in tears at the end with the development of the character and the way the ending took place. Tragedy came with little warning and took me so off guard. A great watch and great story.
