The Report (I) (2019)
8/10
Thumbs Up to Scott Z. Burns for his Writing & Direction
6 May 2020
It is very sad that the film with this stature didn't get the mainstream recognition as it deserves, may be due to its plot hitting directly to one of the top intelligence agency of the world The CIA but we've seen in the past movies like The Post and Spotlight with bold Plots getting critical and commercial praises which is not the case when it comes to The Report. No doubts Scott Z. Burns is one of the good writers Hollywood has but not only with his writing this time he has also impresses us with his direction skills. From writing and directional perspective the film is lit combined with subtlety of Adam Driver's fine acting skills he impressed me again after The Marriage Story. Movie could've been summed up within 1 hour 30 to 40 mins instead of 2 hours run but nevertheless the plot is gripping as back & forth timelines especially torture scenes and Driver's performance will keep you intact. The film surely is one of the underrated movies of 2019 and didn't get its due credit.
