Rollercoaster of a Film

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2020)

This film is about as close as it gets to a theme park. But it comes with all the negatives as well as positives of the Big Dipper. I have to say the 'one shot take trick' is very impressive, so full credit to Sam Mendes for pulling that off. It gives a really good sense of what it was like on the front lines following the protagonists throughout there journey. The acting is good but like a rollercoaster there were so many fast loops and quick cameos that I wanted to enjoy the presence of Andrew Scott, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch for just a bit longer.
I felt sick after watching this film, dizzy from the swooping turning camera I was desperate for an edit! A cut away anything to take me out of it for just a second. It feels like a good one off, but if every film was like this I could see myself becoming sick (literally) of cinema.
