Tenet (2020)
John David Washington plays an unnamed CIA agent, facing off against an enemy combatant who is dressed in riot gear.
Washington’s character is moving forward in time while his antagonist is moving backward in time.
The movie is intriguing in theory, but abstract and often baffling in execution.
The film is interesting when Washington, exuding a brainy aura of danger, toys with Kenneth Branagh’s icepick-hearted Russian gangster baron by arranging things like a 747 smashing into an airport building that houses an airlocked vault full of priceless paintings.
But by the last act of “Tenet,” grandiose action battle full of explosions run backward.
