Review of Terminal

Terminal (I) (2018)
7/10
A Visual Treat with Exceptional Denouement
22 December 2020
Not sure about the acting diversity of Ms. Robbie (The Suicide Squad) but she's got the crazy hot thing down pat, and she is alluringly attractive enough to carry the whole movie, which she does. Not that Pegg and Meyers don't give respectable supporting performances. The screenplay is quite stunning visually, with a futuristic neon tinge to everything that is darkly mysterious and gorgeous at the same time. The seedy story unfolds in such a disjointed way that it sucks for a while, but just when you're about to be bored to death, it explodes with a series of reveals that explain everything by narrated flashbacks, which go above & beyond anything you could have expected. Thumbs down for the tedious buildup, especially all the f-word dialog and hateful coarseness by one of the assassins (played by Fletcher), but bravo for the ending, which is not for the squeamish.
