Disappointing
14 April 2019
Right from the get go ... the entire idea of the movie falls apart for me. So, there are those particular people that are incarcerated. While i can get it for the "beast" that is split .. as he clearly poses a threat AND signs of severe mental disorder. It is much, much harder to justify for the other two. There simply is not enough evidence to suggest they would be picked out to join this trio.

We as spectators know .. but the people "in the world" would not. You do not "see" superior intellect. You do not "see" someone that is unbreakable. Sure there would be doctors and reports about some irregularities - but NOTHING to suggest such actions being taken.

Apart from this (and the unrealistic amount of measures taken against each of those .. ) the idea is that we want to prove that they are not super-human.

Alright .. but that falls flat, when the entire location is decked out in anti-super-human-measures.

The motivations of the doctor are weak, too. Plot-holes in movies are a common thing .. and often unavoidable. But when they are too big .. the whole structure falls apart. The doctor acts so unprofessional (like confirmation bias) that it totally breaks immersion. And that is very sad for a movie like that.

All in all .. sadly an underwhelming movie .. but with good acting indeed. Its the writing that fails it big time
