Theme done right

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2019)

I hover between 9 and 10 stars for this film (director's cut version). The film is excellent and achieves all it set out to do, spinning a finely-crafted narrative while dripping dark noir themes. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it did feel a little long at times and the special effects with the final fight felt underwhelming. I really don't want to give anything away with this movie, it's better to go in knowing as little as possible (and there are thousands of detailed reviews already). Just make sure to see the director's cut first as the theatrical cut contains it's own spoilers!
