My notes
I'm sure that someone loves this film, but man, Johnny Depp ruined it for me. His insane take and repeated costume changes might have been intended to suggest that the CIA engages in coups so regularly that they don't take them seriously, but it just kept taking me out of the movie.
Still, the trilogy trends continue to increase. More characters playing different roles, the action getting increasingly absurd, and the scope increasing. Too bad about Depp, though.
