Spy stories are mediocre at best. I've read the book, and this movie is missing half the story, with some stylised visual scenes which make no sense at all

A film is about portraying a story, and this film missed the whole point of the original story.

But when you take a mediocre story and turn it into digested offal which has no alliance to the book, then you have a problem.

Bad casting, bad directing, Bad Acting, atrocious screenplay. Another 60 minutes of film this into a REAL story would have made it bearable to watch,given the miscast actors

I would rather eat the result of a disjointed prolapse than watch this tripe again.

Spent the first 28 minutes vomiting mockingjays.

Okay, so Jennifer Lawrence fans will love it,and give it a 10, then complain that anyone who don't agree with them are "Russian bots" and "haters" She received a best actor award in a film where she was just being herself, but I did not see Dominika in her. Joel Edgerton was terrible and miscast as Nate Nash and the relationship between the two was not only rushed and abbreviated, also had as much spark as a wet match. Yes, the violence, sex and torture is part of the story, a page out of Stalinist Russia, where Putin has returned it to.

Knuckle dragging rednecks will give a 10 for the USA being the "hero"...... and living in a free dictatorship with a polarised view of the world, you expect that. This film adaptation of the story in the book is atrocious.

I looked forward to seeing Jeremy Irons play a classic role in this, being a pivotal character who is supposed to "bring it all together"... which was completely ignored.... but even his facial expressions seemed to show embarrassment in performing in this film.

I think Jeremy Irons read the book too, and was wondering ""WTF is going on here... and not one recipe was given, or restaurant scene.

So, i give a one for the Bad everything.....casting, acting, directing, screenplay, continuity, story adaptation..... you know, those important parts that make a movie good, regardless of the subject matter.

P.S. The Hunt for Red October, probably the best Russo/American Action Spy movies adapted from a book, without having a true spy story.

Did anyone get the in-joke about this whole story? That Trumps wife is implied as a super spy for Russia, hiding in plain sight?
