movie review - Heroes Wanted
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Kokubunji, 2021.05.20
This is a very uneven telling of the assembly of a "B" team of agents to track down a missing nuclear bomb. Teetering back and forth between satire and drama, it lurches and then slows and generally can't seem to pick a tone or direction. Some of the characters are engaging, and there are a few arresting scenes, but it mostly feels like a committee-driven affair that resulted in mediocrity.
Not recommended.
