Call me whatever you want but that was the most tedious, boring, intellectually bereft movie I've seen since Mars Attacks. It was free on Showtime so I thought how lucky I was to be able to see this often awarded show for free. Afterwords I felt totally ripped off.

Editing had to be a nightmare and it looked that way almost from the beginning. The humor was butt plug level the martial arts were rarely decent (not that I'd know) but the movies overall message could have easily been communicated and many times more interesting in one 30 minute episode of Twilight Zone.

All I can say is what the Academy's choice of this film as Best Motion Picture Of The Year was a bigger disaster than THE SLAP from 2022.

Maybe I was expecting something else but this was uninteresting and just disappointing. Acting was disappointing as was the writing (never before have I said that about Aaron Sorkin). I felt like it just skimmed over the surface of many interesting stories but never looked at any in depth. So I caught myself looking for other things to do while it was on. So... disappointed and bored.

Love Natalie Zea (Justified) but rest are very average. Writing is contrived and acting is poor. Always the same. Danger, McGiver themselves out of danger. More danger. Boring plot. Sorry but I'm done watching.
