Everything just comes together in a satisfying way which feels earned. Is it up there with their classics? No, it’s not.

But not even Dwayne Johnson’s magnificent performance were enough to help this film beat the usual biopic pitfalls. #film #movies Review: https://substack.com/@carter45/note/p-175278645?r=52ou0p&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action07 Oct 2025 17:31 +0000at://did:plc:yhdg5vdb7vtispcbxnlru7kv/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2mnrca7uk2v
