Worth seeing but ultimately, disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2018)

Great story, great cast, respected director etc. but this just feels like less than the sum of the parts. I loved the 1st half but in the 2nd the tone is too erratic and there's many bits that are just plain daft. The political message could also have been handled better I thought, all valid and essentials point but the Trump comparisons felt shoehorned. Despite all my criticisms I still liked it, it looks great, the acting is excellent and there is a lot of directorial flair on show.
