Never trust the reviews from so-called critics. I was totally engaged throughout the movie and enjoyed the superb performance from the starry ensemble, especially the chemistry between the leading three actors: Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington. This movie is not a typical comedy thriller film. It goes deeper about the true values of humanity, friendship and a democratic society. It reminds the viewers of what a chaotic world we are in right now. The pacing some said could put off viewers but I think it creates space for viewers to sink in. Go seeing this movie yourself instead of listening only to the reviews.
