The writing is the film's deepest wound, and I find myself thinking, not for the first time with Nolan's recent work, that something essential was lost when Jonathan Nolan stepped back from the screenplays. There is a difference, and you can feel it. The dialogue here constantly explains what we are already watching, describing emotion rather than trusting it, and there is a verbal tic, the phrase "the law of Zeus" repeated to the point of parody, that started reminding me of "Murphy's Law" in Interstellar. When a film's central thematic language becomes unintentionally comic through repetition, something has gone wrong at the script level.

Do NOT threaten the American People, their President, who has received one of the largest mandates in Presidential History, or Worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable.”"
