Truly I do not understand the negative reviews for this film. The directing, acting, and writing for this movie are all top notch. Bale, Robbie, and Malek are all absolutely perfect.

Obviously there's nothing timely about a film about an attempted coup on the government controlled by wealthy businessmen, but it's always something to keep an eye on. Seriously, the film is thoughtful and all of the threads are important and relevant. I feel like the people who watched this complicated and well thought out film and left a negative review are the same people who watch horror movies and leave negative reviews starting with "now I don't like horror movies...".
