Let's start by saying it is a good movie. The character development and the acting is solid and the look and feel of the movie is consistent and believable. The choreography and continuity is very professional, as are the other technical elements, such as soundtrack and cinematography. One actually feels sorry for the actors having to go through the obvious rigours of cold water and cold climate scenes. But this is why it is like watching synchronized swimming: You get the feeling at the end of the movie that it was rather pointless. Very well done but without a real purpose. It feels like a long pilot episode of a series where the writers first wants to get a response before writing the next script. The movie aptly ends with the dialogue: "So where to now"? And this is the summation - where to now? Perhaps the comment that the script writer wrote in the margin accidentally became part of the script. I loved Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal. Richard Armitage positioned himself as someone to really keep an eye on.
