The expectant Morgan Freeman inexplicably dies just before the climax (if the movie has one).
Arranging a girlfriend for Affleck seems to show the director's cherishing of marriage and life? It's a pity that this part of the plot is so subtle that the heroine's only role is to embellish the scenery.
The appearance of the CIA agent seems to make the film appear more spy-war, but there is no technical attack and no gunfight. In any case, I don't understand the role of the protagonist's trip to Ukraine.
90% of the pages are devoted to promoting peace and understanding, but the ending of "The Godfather" makes these mainstream values ​​completely bloody... One can't help but sigh: the screenwriter's values ​​are really confusing!
Spy wars, emotions, shady scenes... There are so many blockbuster elements that the director seems to want to capture all of them. The result is that they are all superficial and messy, and the overall structure is scattered like a ball of wool that a kitten has played with...
