A good film for sure, definitely leaning towards the higher end of this rating as well. As always Spielberg’s direction is a highlight, some really interesting camerawork again, Janusz Kaminski continues to impress me with some of these shots.  I definitely felt the runtime and it became quite repetitive as the film went on but that’s my only real issue.

Ne ekersen onu biçersin aq işte.

A lot to unpack. Interesting climax. There were some pretty stunning visuals, impressive they only shot in Budapest and Malta. There was some really well thought out direction in chunks, but it felt a bit repetitive for the bulk of the movie. The framing of the movie seemed obvious in the beginning, and I think to make a big budget movie like this back then you may’ve had to, but Spielberg definitely sprinkles crumbs of doubt and nuance. The impact the plot has on the team is so important, highlighting the consequences and futility of their mission. I imagine this could be a difficult watch for some people based on their stance, but I think from a narrative perspective this is surprisingly self-critical. 78/100
