a lot of scenes depended on her showing revelation, fear, confusion, sadness and countless emotions and she really knocked it out of the park I thought. Renner was good too, in a more self-effaced role.

I think I got the gist of the narrative but I'm wondering if I should read the novella it's based on.

Great cinematography (though not as good as Sicario)

Could have possibly done without the Jina ((c) the Prez) and Russia subplot, but the scene where Louise talks to General Shang was a high point of the movie to me.
