Could have been legendary

Rating: 7/10 (3 April 2020)

By halfway in this movie I was truly enthralled. Washington and Fanning were terrific together - the cinematography, styling and writing were spellbinding. And then something weird happened - Washington's character went into battle mode and much of the great work of the first half was undone. It was like two different films.
It wasn't that battle-mode Washington was bad, it was just that it broke the continuity. A first half that had so much soul was suddenly soulless.
I wish they'd been able to step back, fix it, and then I'd have a movie I could share with my friends as a great Friday night thriller.
