Pretty on-the-nose, but cathartic.

Remarkably bad performances all around! Everyone except Christian Bale is wooden, like they’re reading off cue cards held behind the camera.

I like this guy a hundred times better than Bond of the same era. Harry is sly, insubordinate, cool, and flirty with women in a way that doesn't make my skin crawl.

the good: lots of interesting camera angles; mind control & psychological conditioning is always my jam; Harry having strong opinions about champignons

The pace is glacially slow at times, but it's all so atmospheric that I don't even mind.

(Harry's full-on smoky eye with mascara was certainly A Choice.)
