The reveal at the end was unsatisfying


The way Russel reveals everything during the ceremony, with hints of being drunk. And then the part where he asks someone to handcuff him. It was awkward. Didn’t seem fitting for the big reveal

Yeah agree, just watched it.
There was some dialogue that was a bit cheesy / awkward / linear

Say when the charterer Jack Van Meeter, was doing his domination/control/manipulation games
He flys off the handle when Eldon Perry's charterer said they should go after his informants, with cliches of "you don't think, you follow orders!!!!"

I get Jack needs to steer them away from the informants because Jacks dirty
But Jack could of just said, there is a major on going investigation and they are not to talk to the informants or they will legit loose their jobs

And he could of been aggressive also about it, but Jack just looses his shit, looses control. And its like, I thought this guy was meant to be cool and in control? Not loose his shit the second hes questioned on something

It was too "Hollywood", took me out of the movie which up until then was pretty realistic and gritty.
