🎬 Series: N/A
🌍 Where: Cinema
🖊️ Score: 6/10
Won't be a very long review because I'm trying to keep this review spoiler free and this movie's entire premise is one big spoiler. All I'll say is that I really loved Tom Cruise's performance in this! He did an incredible job, as did the hair and makeup team that made him look old. I also loved the performances from Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, and Sandra Hüller, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out Jesse Plemons was in this as well. Tom Cruise in particular has quite a long monologue near the middle that is outstanding. I also really loved the visual language and cinematography of the movie.
The problem is that I felt like the social commentary was a little too heavy-handed. You could argue it should be for an issue like this, but it made the entire movie feel more disjointed, and it spent more time on the twist premise and the commentary than the actual characters and their motivations, which was a little disappointing. Iñárritu got all the parts right, they just didn't really fit together properly, if that makes sense. So watching it was a little confusing (for someone who went into this completely blind). Still worth watching but by no means one of my favourites of the year. I'll admit I'm a little disappointed after hearing all the hype for this as well. But at the very least, it's a stellar performance for Tom Cruise.
