Starts out well and then goes on and on and on and...

Rating: 5/10 (6 October 2017)

At first, I was surprised at how seamless and organic this movie felt relative to the original. The film starts off with a bang - fantastic visuals, great score, and the promise of an engaging plot. But then it splutters and starts to drag while still somehow failing to develop characters (Jared Leto's menacing corporate overlord, Niander Wallace for one). Major chunks of the plot were still being rush-unpackaged towards what should've been the end of the movie. And when they were finally arrived at, the payoff seemed cliché and hard to care for.
Personally, I am disappointed that the same team that gave us the breakneck-paced "Sicario" was responsible for this ho-hum drivel.
