Cutting and transitions kills a promising story

Rating: 3/10 (12 May 2020)

Setting out in a cell in North Korea, with Angelina Jolie as an imprisoned agent, this movie offers an interesting starting point. The story quickly twists into an interesting drama, which could've been executed into a very exiting movie.
Unfortunately the sequences, cutting and story elements have been brutalized. Lacking realistic transitions and pauses in the story takes the credibility of the agent out of the movie - and turns Jolie into a super hero rather than vulnerable CIA agent, and the story into an in-credible action where suspense never really reaches the true pinch of a drama.
Again, the story had potential, and actors and scenes are well taken. Cutting just kills the story completely.
