Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 0/4 (Terrible)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent).
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent). McQueen actually does some great acting in the solitary confinement scenes. And some remarkably bad acting in the island scenes. I felt embarrassed for the movie.
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). Very uneven. Most of it is pretty good, but then large chunks of it, especially toward the end, are terrible.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.1/4 (Okay)
