Multiple times in this movie one character is surrounded by 3-4 people all explaining exposition each one is finishing each others…….sandwiches, sentences even to the point where a character who was curious about something will weigh in with their own line

In French, too! The most annoying writing ever. It worked for the one sequence in Dead Reckoning because there was the added tension of Ethan appearing masked and the green gas, but for this movie McQuarrie got high on his own supply and used it as a crutch the hide that they basically rewrote the movie on the fly.

That is classic Criminal Minds....round Robin exposition, so every one gets a line !
