The first half of this movie is honestly a bore, you’d have to be a really patient person to get reeled into the story. But once the second half starts, it filled with tremendous suspense and excitement and really gets me wondering for what comes next. The characters’ roles change so rapidly and it sometimes gets hard to figure out who’s the true antagonist. The editing and cinematography are obviously key to this film’s success. Without it, it wouldn’t able to achieve the breathtaking visuals. Whatever happens in this movie is honestly a mystery to me, there’s corruption within religion and there’s also enlightenment. Although I don’t fully understand the gist of this film, that’s not gonna stop me from appreciating it.
