Notes

Structurally, might have worked better as a TV series, because first 52 mins was just set up and there ended with just so little tension or meaning, one gunfight excepted.  If law actually worked like that, international sanctions and impoundment, if some randoms trying to kill you on an 'owned' island meant you got even more legal power, why wouldn't the firm just do that?  And the protagonist is entirely right, the law firm isn't going to do anything for her - but they kept the assets for no reason.... just none of it makes any sense, just structurally very poor, even if some of the dialog and character interactions were better than average.

It's half-carried along by Cavill and Glyenhall's, Cavill (and to a lesser extent Gylenhall's) subtext acting to González but it mostly is just they are untouchable.  Very interesting that Deborah noticed how little dialog was given to the only Black actor, Kojo Attah, first and then we were both looking - even in the big scene of the character's sacrifice, hardly any of his dialog played with the camera on his face.  They also didn't mourn the death of Dunne character (Emmett Scanlan) so there is a possibility the entire villa escape was a re-edit of a different story, or they just found his acting wasn't working. Have to keep an eye on any stories that come out in the next year to explain it.
