Taut, direct, no wasted moments

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2019)

To me this is the epitome of a thriller. Many movies aim for this endgame but fail. There is no wasted scene or even two seconds. Character connections are made between Traxler and Vucovich in ways that lesser movies spend an hour+ trying to establish. Audience communication is to the point and bold, and nuanced when needed.
Turns are made with ease. Introductions are established within moments. The movie carries momentum from scene to scene in unhurried haste. And when the lull occurs for the romance, it doesn't feel wasted. This is the action thriller template. Besides the mirror scene even the CGI still stands up.
1.5 hours of glorifying action movie making that will stand the test of time. It's an amazing sci fi thriller that will attract audiences for generations to come, and operates in varying capacities all at once. That's a 10.
