Review of Thirteen Lives (2022) by Jluis_001 — 11 Aug 2022

Ron Howard is a director with too much expertise and knows his way around the field to allow his work to feel flawed as a whole, but in Thirteen Lives his work and that of his actors, all of whom are well-known names, fail to give this film the needed emotion and tension to become the heroic story they were aiming for. Between so much back and forth in the cave, the pace soon stalls and what happens outside of it feels like gratuitous filler.

I don't consider it a bummer, but I did think it would be much better.
