I didn't like it, because I didn't understand it. A business deal involving a 6 billion dollar company was central to the plot. What exactly was the deal? Was he trying to buy the company or become its CEO? The Catholic Church owns 25% now. Would they continue to own 25%? If they were planning to sell their shares, why would they care if scandal broke out after they sold? They could treat it the same as any other business deal. Was Michael offering $6 billion in cash, or would he have to borrow money to make the deal work? Maybe he could offer shares. Instead of depositing $600,000,000 in the Vatican bank, he could have upped his offer by $600,000,000. Michael threw an awful lot of money around, but that bothered me. If he was a billionaire before the movie started, then what's his problem?
Who was the bad guy and what was his motivation? Would he have lost money if the deal went through and how much? Why was the bad guy against the deal?
SPOILERS - Did the guy who killed with eyeglasses end up dying and why was he willing to do that? Did the assassin kill the girl on purpose or accidentally? There was comment earlier in the movie that she controlled the money now.
