Exceeds the middling critical reception.

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2017)

As stated in the title, MotOE exceeds the middling critical and public reception, but not by a considerable margin. It's one of the most consistent pictures I have seen in recent months. Consequently however: it fails to deliver sufficient quality content in order to distinguish itself from amongst the 7/10 region.
Every performance is the film is sufficiently impressive, though it's nothing unprecedented. Alternatively, the fact that the film succeeds in encompassing a broad spectrum of unique personas is accomplished ( and to some degree compensates for the somewhat lacklustre performances.
The pacing was executed with the competency that rarely did I wish for MotOE to abandon it's investigative section and instead deliver it's concluding chapter.
The picture also hosts s sequence of enthralling vistas throughout.
Overall, MotOE is a somewhat accomplished film that ultimately I recommend you view.
