I heard nothing but good things about this movie, then it cleaned up at the Oscars, so I went in expecting something decent.

It's not often I can't finish a film, and I watch some real trash on Prime, but I couldn't get through this. Convoluted plot, woeful acting from everyone other than JLC, just an awful, boring mess. I gave up after some mass brawl in an office block and I don't intend revisiting it. Some of the absolute dirge that gets highly rated in the modern day truly puzzles me it really does. You'd expect a multi-Oscar winner to be in the realms of The Godfather - comic book nonsense like this should be winning Nickleodeon awards at best.

I wonder, if all the characters had been white, would this be so revered? It seems there's a real need to reward diversity nowadays, even if it's to the detriment of quality. How Cate Blanchet missed out on best actress will be a conundrum for the future film students to ponder for decades. Data from the Goonies grabs one for his first major role since the '80s, and he was as wooden as he was back then.
