Great Trailer- Poor Pacing
9 April 2023
The trailer is preferable to the film and, honestly, if you've watched the trailer you've seen it all.

I genuinely wished at least one act was spent on the crime he actually committed. Show us who the justice system thought was worthy of working on behalf of. Who was he indicted him for harming? We all know about the other stuff. Show the more concrete ways he is a product of the system rather than waxing poetic and trying to make him a sympathetic character. I also feel badly for the filmmaker who starts to come off as a bit of a sycophant. I think if the film were structured differently that wouldn't have been the case. It also loses so much steam towards the end, the sound mixing isn't great and the closed captions are wrong on multiple occasions. Feels like a missed opportunity for so much more.
