4. It's a so-so movie

Disclosure Day didn't live up to its hype. I was expecting more from Spielberg considering his previous movies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T.. What he produced was standard action movie with a thin story line, much like most movies today. This will not be on the list of his best movies, IMO. The end of the movie, when the main character Margaret Fairchild goes on camera to disclose what the alien said ends before we find out what it is. The reason for this is the writers couldn't come up with an impactful statement.

I'll give Emily Blunt, who portrayed Margaret Fairchild, credit for doing a very good job of acting, especially when her character suddenly started speaking Russian and Korean. From the sound of the foreign languages she spoke she make it appear she actually knew those languages.
