  ★★★★★ Watched 10 Jan 2020 2

  Wow. What a spectacle. The whole movie I was just thinking “how are they pulling off this camera work and lighting and blocking and editing and set design?” Sheesh.

  It’s like Saving Private Ryan meets Rope with a hint of North By Northwest (plane scene) and Dunkirk. Aka it’s perfect.

  Shaq 2022

  ★★½ Watched 07 Dec 2022

  I was interested in the story and I could listen to Shaq all day… but the editing on this looked like a grad school film project where someone said “look at all these effects I found in After Effects and Premiere!”

  Watched on HBO Max
