Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Slow Horses.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Slow Horses knows its audience.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Slow Horses.

Unpopular opinion: Slow Horses is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched Slow Horses last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Slow Horses actually is?
Director clearly thought Slow Horses was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Slow Horses's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, Slow Horses would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
