I agree with the reviewer, this movie is wildly overpraised. Too many of the subplots are just left hanging and the one about the son is just supposed to be resolved with a speech by Michael to his son, no real communication occurs. The early subplot about the hit-and-run is also left hanging.

Further, we are left hanging about what Michael thinks about all these things, or almost everything, for that matter, except rather trite predictable reactions to what is happening.

I can't say the movie is bad, but it does not deserve a "90" on rottentomatoes or an "82" on Metacritic.

The main problem I feel is the movie just tells us what happens step by step and not much more. And the usual corporate greedmasters come in for their usual skewering (strawmen), without any possible justification for their actions, past or present.

I also think showing the flashforward first is a mistake and just a way to make a movie seem better than it is.

There are a lot more criticisms, but most reviewers don't even bring them up, which says more about critics, than about the movie.
