A very convoluted plot, boring stakes, and messy character development make 'Beckett' a pretty forgettable film. The way they try to mix the story with the actual political climate is lazy at best. John David Washington is the leastA very convoluted plot, boring stakes, and messy character development make 'Beckett' a pretty forgettable film. The way they try to mix the story with the actual political climate is lazy at best. John David Washington is the least responsible for this mess. Still, I'd be embarrassed, as a renowned actor, to appear in the credits.… Expand

Thrillers of this kind don't need to be really logical, but at least they do need to have a little more focus, but unfortunately for Beckett, the whole story feels incredibly all over the place.

Remarkably dispersed, jumping from one eventThrillers of this kind don't need to be really logical, but at least they do need to have a little more focus, but unfortunately for Beckett, the whole story feels incredibly all over the place.

Remarkably dispersed, jumping from one event to another regardless of the lack of cohesion, in a desperate attempt to maintain the suspense, which after a while becomes monotonous, because it doesn't go beyond situations in which the lead character escapes again and again of the dire situations he finds himself in for almost the entire duration of this story.

John David Washington can barely hold the lead. I am sorry for him, but his performance is far from convincing, whereas I'm surprised that Alicia Vikander is only there for 20 minutes to be dismissed so quickly.
Although it's fair to admit that she has some time without doing something relevant, however, I can't help but feel like she was wasted.

I needed it more, but give it a shot, who knows. Maybe you'll enjoy it a bit more.… Expand

While the film has a unique charm due to the excellent vistas of rural north Greece and the derelict areas of Athens, the wooden acting and the very basic story keep it from being anything more than a bland conspiracy tale

It was interesting while you watch it as you couldn't tell what will happen next and what is really happenning. After you see the movie it does feel a bit stretched out and too simplistic. I'm rating it more for the experience.
