Should have been much much better

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2017)

This is one of the most unexpectedly disappointing films i've seen in a long time especially given the people involved and the glowing reviews. I loved Joseph Ruben's previous films in the 90s and Ben Kingsley is in my top five actors of all time.
Unfortunately the Casting is wrong and, although the acting is OK, the fake accents are horrific. The worst thing though is the pace of the shots / editing / scene changes etc because it's so rushed you couldn't care less about the characters or whatever is happening in the film, It's like watching something in fast forward.
The composer ticks all the right boxes with the score but it feels futile because i have absolutely no interest in the characters.
Watch this after watching something like Hacksaw Ridge, Braveheart, Titanic and you will understand what im saying.
