expected more tbh. it was good donβt get me wrong, i just didnβt love it like i thought i would. something felt left out, iβm still trying to figure it out, maybe it was not seeing bernthal fuck people up idk. i was expecting a bit more of a bloodbath i guess. either way, incredible performance from malek & fishburne. my heart did sink a bit ngl. lowkey depressing idk. i just wanted revenge too. wish he fucking shot him, not send him to prison smh. the pool scene was the fucking highlight of the film imo. that shit was so satisfying to watch haha. great production overall just storytelling lost points tbh. 8 / 10

Insaneeeee. Amazingly executed storytelling, characters, acting performances. Really, really great movie. It is very instense, and very realistic, all the hacking, and computer things were extremly realistic. One of my favourite movie of the year. Absolutely recommending.

A good movie it has good shots good directing and great acting it looks good on the big screen it does go on for a bit to long and the story is to basic but I do recommend it a solid 8.7/10

9/10 liked the ideal of a CIA tech geek on a revenge rampage. Could open the door for a follow up with a different approach. Cast and director spot on, although think Jon was thrown in as a decoy. Recommend.

Well, if I have lost Rachel Brosnahan, I would start exploding places and torturing people, too.

Honestly this was a good watch. Story was great but a little more action would have given it a higher score. 6.8/10

Honestly, I would have loved this if the 2-hour runtime had been about 20 minutes shorter. It had an amazing cast, striking production, a fun concept, and smart directing and writing. I was confused from the get-go, but the buildup was perfect, from thriller to romance to sci-fi to comedy to politics to action to drama. It had it all, and I was heavily invested. The action sequences/set pieces did not hold back either, even with a reality-edging premise. Unfortunately, the final 30 minutes or so lost me a little, and I think it's due to pacing and an overall lack of progression. However, as far as action goes, this is probably in my top 10 of the year.

7.5/10 Entertaining, fun, felt a bit more realistic. Great performance. There were a couple things that threw me off from the movie, but not bad

I liked it for the most part. I thought it dragged a bit towards the end. Stacked cast with great acting! Good ending. Maybe a one time watch for me

een looking forward to watching this film for a while and finally watched it. Wished it was a 15 or something the 12 cut was just too little and had so much more potential with certain scenes πββοΈ
Solid 6/10

rami malek did a phenomenal job and the editing style was cool. however, the movie was WAY too dragged out and predictable. i was hoping there was gonna be at least one plot twist and there wasnβt but it was still a fun movie. overall, i would give it a 5.5/10!

It was alright. Nothing too special to be honest but enjoyable enough nevertheless. I enjoyed the first half setup and really felt for Charlie but the ending kind of lost me a bit and left me feeling confused with some of the writing decisions but overall it was an okay time
