I normally like Mark Ruffalo, but the screen writing was so bad, so cliche, so "Nazi bad, our side good, our side speak truth" it was embarrassing to watch. Who ever wrote the screen play and pushed for more over drama in scenes was an idiot. From the beginning I knew it was going to be bad when the bar tender didn't even attempt to save his own life. He just stood there and let the guy shoot him. It was unrealistic and gave the "villain" of the movie unwarranted power. Overall really poorly put together.

While beautifully shot and engaging throughout, from scene to scene everything comes across way to serendipitous for the main characters that it feels forced by the director to keep the story going and highly unrealistic. From when the main character magically gets out of the river at the exact point right next to the battalion to having trucks show up to rescue you moments after dealing with a Nazi, it all seems too fortunate and overly exciting. War is long, boring, and not so lucky. This seemed like Sam Mendes wanted to keep the movie going so he threw too many quick changes like a video game into the mix. Just my thoughts. 🤷‍♀️

The problem with this show is the star chefs and food critics they have judge are almost entirely from the West and they don't have enough international experience. Few have an Asian Pacific, African, or Middle Eastern experience with food. At best maybe some Japanese or Chinese experience, but not enough to be great judges for an international cooking competition. Nowhere was this more prevalent then when the American Chicago chef ate a pumpkin curry with a spoon and then ate the puri separately. Anyone worth their salt in international cuisine would know you take the puri and use it as a vessel to dip it into the curry similarly to a little taco. Then he had the audacity to tell the indian chef the puri was too big for the size of the curry. You can tell he has no clue Indian portions. If you go to any Indian restaurant you'll see almost exactly the size she made it. It just reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where an elitist eats a candy bar with a fork and knife. No clue and ultimately she got cut because she appealed to a western chef that unfortunately wasn't international enough.
