Absolutely terrible movie for those who doesn't know the backstory of this movie.
I was completely clueless for the first 30 mins, went on wiki to understand the first 30 mins by reading the plot (which is in order on wiki so you wont get any spoilers).
Another 30 mins, still confused, went on wiki again to understand.
Another 45 mins, STILL confused, went on wiki again.
Movie ended, completely unsatisfied and wished i could get back my 2 hours.

The storytelling in this movie is absolutely HORRENDOUS, one of the worst i have ever seen.
(POTENTIAL SPOILERS) for the reasons why below:

[spoiler]1. There was no backstory to ANY character, they just throw you in the movie with like 10 characters and expect you to remember all their names
2. They switch between using the first name and the last name when talking about each other, which makes you have to remember even MORE names
3. Some of them and the organizations have CODENAMES, which makes you have to memorize EVEN MORE names.
4. Each 'plot point' lasts only like 5 seconds after it is revealed, leaving you no time to absorb and try to understand what the heck is going on.
5. There are plenty of stories in this movie, but instead of going on and fully explaning one, they just jump between each other non stop.[/spoiler]

I would give it 1 star, but i decided to give 2, because of the incredible cast and acting.

@zmirburger Thank you, this is exactly how it felt. I had no idea what was going on the entire time, and was bored to tears.
