Good Movie Despite It's Obvious and Implausible Plot Contrivances

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2020)

I still want to give this film 8 stars despite its obvious and implausible plot contrivances. I won't spoil the experience by identifying them , and the point is that while you are watching the movie, they don't matter, as that is the best thing about this movie, in that you are fully absorbed in the "one take" experience. It is only after watching the film, after you have come down to earth again, that your logical brain starts to say " hey wait a minute..."
But even with the obvious stylishness, it is a very good film and you know what, it just goes to show other directors of how CGI and special effects can be used to support the film's narrative and they don't become a dominating factor in their own right to prop up the story line - no caped american superheroes or marvel costumes here - just a ripping good story filmed for adults. Go see it.
