Great directing, awful writing

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2017)

Denis Vileneuve is an excellent director. From the first shot to the very last one the movie is filled with excellent film making decisions. He even manages to get the best out of Hugh Jackman´s Wolverine-like acting. I was thrilled all the way and still, plot holes are the kind of ones that get you screaming at the screen and make you hate the film the more you talk about it, not to mention the underwhelming climax. By the way, I figured out what was going on after half an hour, and I usually suck at that. This is a perfect proof of that old saying, no one can make a good movie out of a poor script. It seems this was the writer´s second big one after a Mark Wahlberg thriller so go figure, what a surprise.
