It felt like it wanted to do a lot of things but without much planning. This left a lot of beats feeling shoehorned in purely “because.” The few things it does well are fun to watch but its a movie where the cast largely drag it to its better moments. If Jason Isaacs, January Jones, and Ed Harris weren’t here, I think it would be immediately forgettable.

Some thrills are along the way to the inevitable arrival at exactly where you expect to arrive. The first half had some better carry than the closeout.
There is a post-credits scene but if you missed it, you didn’t miss anything.

I am fine mixing camp with serious, but it just felt a little directionless here. It also meanders a bit and there is not enough interesting dialogue or events to make it feel good to be a part of. They definitely set up for moments like that, especially in the later half, but nothing really stood out. No scene is going to stick with me.
I was really on board for the first half, it just doesn’t do well with its questions and suspense.
