Disclosure Day reunites director Steven Spielberg and writer David Koepp after a long hiatus, and moreover, the teaser is very intriguing. Hence, one can’t help but expect a lot from this film. It starts on a promising note. A few action scenes and the portions involving the technology shown in the film keep viewers entertained. However, interest levels start dipping in the second half. The government organization depicted in the film is shown to be quite ineffective, and the biggest drawback is the climax. A lot of buildup takes place, and one expects fireworks in the finale. Sadly, it fails to give viewers the required high. Several developments are also quite puzzling and might force audiences to search for ‘Disclosure Day explained’ videos and articles. Emily Blunt plays a very challenging role and comes out with flying colours, as always. Josh O’Connor delivers a fine performance but gets overshadowed by the veteran performers. Colin Firth (Noah) and Colman Domingo (Hugo) perform ably, while Eve Hewson (Jane) leaves a mark. All in all, Disclosure Day is an epic disappointment.
My rating – ** out of 5!
