Rian Johnson does it again. He told a story then proceeded to undermine it at every turn by openly calling it dumb, while it is still happening. The detective openly mocks the plot as moronic. The main character is openly drunk and is somehow positioned as smarter than the villian, removing any sense of tension. What is worse is all of the real world elements that crept into the movie. Covid, Elon Musk, and the BLM protests are all present. This thinly veiled attempt at political commentary shows a lack of understanding of what people want from a movie. Escapism. I would give it zero stars if I could. It is a far cry from the first mystery that he wrote.
