Not entirely bad, but it was bland and more than unnecessary, because it doesn't explain anything new.

Rarely does anyone feel like a character, which I almost understand since they're portraying real people. But while that might work for something like Captain Phillips (whose screenwriter directed this), The Comey Rule is just a series of dull boardroom meetings that cover years of news but with little to no insight. This might've had potential with writing like Aaron Sorkin or Tom McCarthy, but as is, none of the dialogue feels compelling or character-driven. The sequencing of events is brutally slow-paced because the film is unwilling to make any creative liberties. I would understand if this was a docuseries, but it's not.

There's some nice moments throughout, I was most intrigued by Comey's scenes with his family, as they portrayed a lot of behind-the-scenes conversations and brought up some fascinating moral arguments about the work he did. It's also mildly enjoyable to see famous actors show up as whoever. But overall, this can't even measure up to the type of Emmy's award bait that it wants to be.… Expand
