Feels like a first draft

Rating: 3/10 (7 October 2019)

My first question after watching this was, "Who in their right mind greenlit this?"
Why was this script not rewritten and rewritten and torn apart and then rewritten again?
The idea of the story is good, but the movie feels like a poorly-written first draft that never should have gotten this far.
There is so much left underdeveloped, too much left too developed, too much untouched, too much unexplored, and too much that was present that did not need to be. His relationship with his wife - why? It added absolutely nothing to the story. Even Glass's ideas are so surface-level, it's laughable. Had this been put through the shredder with a better writer taking the reins, this may have been a really good movie with some great underlying themes and metaphors. It just falls incredibly flat with far too much potential left unexplored.
