So first I would like to say that it was an ok movie, some funny moments and in general it was quite entertaining 2 hours. But the end bothered me, especially when the head of Interpol operation, Director Casoria, came to Amelia and said to her "you were right to trust your instincts, well done". Well, let's see what was so well done. Since the moment Michael and Darius partnered together, there was a wide path of destruction and death all around them. How many people were killed, how much property destroyed, the entire operation disrupted half Europe and caused huge damage to cities and people. How's that well done? And if it was so easy just to kill Dukhovich without any political and international interference, why all the charade with the trial, witnesses and etc?
Was it all just to show to the bad guy - here, you are bad and we are good. Because we care about human rights and we will not convict a person without evidence and we will even let this dictator go, even though we know exactly what kind of bad he is and despite all the people that suffered because of him. And just to prove ourselves that we are good we are willing to destroy cities and sacrifice many lives just to show the bad guy that we have pictures of him doing something bad.
I mean, hell, couldn't he just tell them where to find the photos and the password over the phone? Did they have to do all that chase just to be present in the court? Really? This kind of thing can truly ruin any movie, was there a point to any of this?

i think you miss the point of the movie... it's a metaphore for thr hypocracy and self delusion that is necessary to both be committed to your career as well as maintain a modern relationship... and the lesson that you should always apologise to your flawless, queen girlfriend even when you think she has wronged you... 🤔
or perhaps... it's more about americans bringing justice (yet again) to europe... as an allegorical meditation on the destruction of the contenant in the second world war.... 😉
the action, the comedic banter between the perfectionist bodyguard and the free wheeling hitman and all the fun is just background... 😁 ... or maybe we are just overanalysing it... 😎

Damn, dude. That was one hell of over-analyzing. I'll have what you are having.
