POSITIVES…
Adam Driver continues to demonstrate how he is one of the best actors today. Gives the needed gravitas and importance to the role of Daniel Jones.
Annette Bening shows us a restrained but powerful performance here us Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Supporting strong ensemble cast helps carry this movie as well.
As an investigative political thriller about the attempted cover-up of the CIA’s use of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (AKA torture), this is a fascinating movie to watch.
The themes about government oversight, accountability, misguided patriotisms, corruption, and political maneuverings, are important lessons that are rightfully brought up in this movie.
Some lines of dialogue here are just bitingly and insightfully well written. Just one of the high points of watching this film.
Senator John McCain.
NEGATIVES…
It’s a bit of a slow burn.
This is a political story that mostly consists of talking heads. Not exactly action-packed, which means this isn’t going to be for everybody (although it should be).
P.S….
