Tenet

CriticsCritics: 70
AudienceAudience: 7.4

An elite operative is drawn into a secret international mission to protect the world from a threat that operates beyond ordinary time. Guided by one cryptic word, he navigates espionage, shifting loyalties, and astonishing events that challenge his understanding of cause and effect.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want ambitious sci-fi espionage, bold action, and a puzzle to revisit, but Not for you if you prefer clear plots, deep characters, or emotionally grounded storytelling.
