My review · Reviewed 01/08/2023
In many ways this movie reminds me of the first movie in the series. The film actually does a pretty good job laying out a stylish and thought-provoking setup for a mystery. Once I got past Daniel Craig's imitation of Foghorn Leghorn I thought that he actually did a great job (and of course, Ed Norton is fantastic in everything). But as with the first film the movie starts to fall apart at the halfway point after a couple more twists and turns and it just kind of limps to the end. At some point a film can only live on the visuals for so long before the viewer needs something more. It is a delight to look at but I was once again left wanting something more than I got.
