I really wish they would have made this movie through an independent studio.
First the casting is all wrong. It's not the whole white wash thing, it's the Scarlett Johansson as a scifi actor thing. It's like watching the female version of keano Reeves. She simply can't act. Putting Pilou Asbæk next to her was twice the punishment! The whole Hollywood type casting thing drags down movies.
Second was the storyline and the writing. It was seriously lacking. A. you knew what was coming before it ever came. B. trying to hide the lack of good dialog behind action scenes only goes so far. This whole movie lacked any substantial dialog at all. They were throwing scenes in the movie that were frankly pointless because they couldn't write anything meaningful. Even the last battle scene was just lame. They wrote so poorly they even left cliff hangers in segments where there should have been action.
I wouldn't spend a dime to go see this movie and I'm glad I watched it online because of that.
110 million and this is the garbage they threw out. it wasn't even 1/2 as good as Lucy, not that Lucy was some epicly great movie. I can only hope the blade runner remake isn't this epicly bad.

This movie is well shot, well acted and has great production value. The problem with it is the script has so many bad clichés. There are a million plot holes. There is really no original story in this whole movie. Is it watchable yes. It will actually keep your attention oddly enough. But not because it's some great movie. When I watched the movie, it was with the feeling of, I've seen this before I'm kind of bored but lets see where it goes. You could actually put the whole script together through old twilight zone and outer limits episodes plots. I have read a lot of people say this movie is "weird." I'm not really sure where they get that description. I think one person labeled it and it stuck. The movie itself is not "weird." My guess is most the reviewers using that term are young. This movie is no weirder than any other dark thriller movie. Some aspects of it are a lot like the girl with the dragon tattoo. It has some sexual content that most people simply don't know how to handle so it's just deemed "weird." If you think this movie is weird you most likely haven't seen a real weird movie like The Lobster or Clockwork orange. Needless to say this movie ranks very low to not at all on my weird meter and frankly is the worst description of it after having watched it.
It's suppose to be a creepy suspenseful thriller. It kind of fails at that. You could tell they were going for some kind of girl with a dragon tattoo thing. They did kind of land that. in the end it's a 7/10. It's OK to watch, nothing I would go pay to see. Glad I didn't

What do you get when you add the stars of Peaky Blinder and The fall to a kick ass script about a true story of a world war 2 assassination....One brilliant movie! I had seen the preview for this movie and was totally interested. For once I was not disappointed. This is one of my favorite movies of the year so far. The story is interesting, the characters are well acted and the production and special effects are on point. When you watch this movie you simply will not see flaws. It is a perfect example of when everything goes right and the audience walks out pleased. I could not be happier to see these two actors do well. They have proved to be solid in TV shows and in smaller roles in other movies. This is the first time I had seen either in a lead role and they commanded the screen. The script was well paced and there wasn't one moment of filler time in this movie. There is no doubt I will end up watching this movie again showing it to others.
