Definitely convoluted. Casting was superb, acting was fantastic, but the story was almost as hard to follow as that of "Inherent Vice." Trying to follow everything going on and who was who and what their relationships were and what the plan was... It all wore me out. There were times I laughed out loud in the theater and no one else seemed to have caught the humorous moments. I'll follow Rami Malek down any road he takes, though, and he was definitely in great form--much better than in "No Time To Die"--so it's all good. Washington was also very good. Bale is capable of a lot more than this role afforded him, so that was a bit of a disappointment. In the end, it was about as good as I expected it to be.
