So lets clear the slate for the haters here. This is a TV series funded by a group of people for something they believed in.(thus the long producer list) Most TV series do not have a huge budget and serves as a stepping stone for up and coming talent. This is a prime example. This is a pretty good show, some premise of background material is a bit far fetched but where have we not seen this before? Give this show a chance before hating it. If you want major production values and acting in a one hour TV show, then I am sure they are willing to take your cash to add to that producer list to enhance their show, or better yet, watch something else.
This probably would of been a diffeerent film if Steven would of directed it. But he didn't and it shows. The visual effects took a huge budget cut as well as most of the CGI is cartoonish and unbelievable at best. Today"s film goers are very technical savvy and yes, this puts pressure on the studios to budget more for effects, but they just wanted this film done and released to the demise of the audience who loved the previous franchise films. Harrison deserved better at his age and it almost looked like a film he did for the paycheck and to hell with the results. Good plot, good acting, terrible post production (exception, John Williams score)
A good movie thriller. Not a nail-biter, but good. Taking "All The President's Men" into a 2024 theme, the film again takes newspaper snooping and finds a snake. This time, the Republican party. The acting and production values leads you to believe your watching one of those fast turnaround Lifetime movies but it is a bit more refined. While picking on the Republicans, the film really does not make a political statement. This film is watchable but you need some open mind to tolerate it. It reminds us that Gen X is the future and old suiters are on the way out. It tells us that politics is and always will be untrustworthy and those with the most toys will try to win. Money buys power and power means well power. The Independent keeps you interested if you can overlook some bad acting, a few plotholes, and perhaps some far reaching theories that make you go "Really?"
