I found this video to be valuable:

The train scene now has become so cliche. It is irresistible to have one's take on it now. It's like a postmodern meme now. It is played with in many action movies. It is an overuse of a trope though on some level. Directors and writers can't resist using it! It is like a formulaic essence of high-intensity action "go to" now. But the train scene was pretty good too in Disclosure Day -- it was a good take on that trick. But a lot of these movies now are using cliches from prior movies like a formula. There is still creativity there but it is like layers of riffing off the same theme by artists too. Film now has such an extensive body of tropes now that themes are being played with by directors and actors and writers almost at a meta level now.

I didn't like the ending so much. This has some spoilers in it. The very end was weird to me. I can't tell why it was done that way. I didn't get the impact or why it was done that way. I wanted to hear the message. Michael ended in a weird way too with "his story continues ..." Seems like a clunky way to end a movie. https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a71592039/disclosure-day-ending-explained-listen/

Due to the ending I think there might be a sequel.

Emily Blunt did a good job. I notice Colman Domingo played Michael Jackson's dad in Michael. He's a good actor. There was good acting!

Yeah. Worth seeing but not great.

I saw it. It was okay. I don’t want to spoil anything.

People play different characters, it's hilarious.

Have you explored Taiwan?

Speaking is just what you say preferably in person.

Oh yeah!

Yeah right?

I know what you look like actually.

For sure. I don't even know what you look like.
