Half through watching it for the second time. I'm not sure what to say other than I don't really get why this movie seemed to be so positively reviewed in this thread. It's just.....fine. I don't think it comes anywhere close to the top 10 war movies.
It eventually gets too Hollywood, but It's not over the top enough to be a good over the top movie. I like Denis Villeneuve movies and would have been fine with a slow, mundane story like what he makes. I thought that's where this was going after the first 15 minutes, but I have no idea what it was really aiming for. Sub par buddy movie. sub par action movie. Sub par suspense/thriller. Sub par dialogue.
I don't know. It had a little bit of everything, but didn't scratch an itch in any of it. I liked it enough to put it on a second time, but mostly it's just because I don't know why it seemed unanimously liked here and wanted to watch again.
