Oops they did it again! (and this is a real problem)
13 May 2024
There is a trend in modern streaming content, and it is concerning. The creators throw everything they have into the first few minutes of the production, in the hopes of seducing the viewer, even though this leaves little in the ammo bag for the rest of the film. This is a textbook example. The first 10 minutes here are brilliant, among the best I have seen. The first 10 minutes "promise" you more of the same, but that promise is never kept. In fact, the story gets worse and worse as you go. As we reach the end, production values degrade into B-movie tripe, with entire scenes shot in dim lighting, and the arch-villain strutting around dressed like Julius Caesar, If you want to see this done right, watch Kingsman 2014.((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
