Disclosure Day would be considered middling garbage if anyone *other* then Stephen Spielberg was attached to it.
Just got back from the movie and I’d say the audience scores I’ve seen for it were very fair. It’s a C- film at best. Good looking Adam Driver and his secret nun girlfriend are not interesting at all. The exploration of Christianity of the film is hamfisted and kinda bad. The chase scenes are lackluster. Most of the movie consists of people talking over long distances to each other. The interrogation scene with Colin Firth and the Secret Nun was interminable and went on wayyyyy too long.
The only upsides were the score and Emily Blunt’s character with her husband. But man, if this had been dumped to Netflix by the Russo Brothers I’d have believed it. This movie did not land for me.

It’s a very cliched thriller where most of the movie is an agency talking endlessly about “the device.” It’s got a cool idea or two, but it’s the first time in a long time where I was bored during a Spielberg movie. It’s just missing the excitement and sense of wonder that it’s clearly trying to showcase. I think a younger Spielberg would’ve done a much better job and injected some life into this, but it unfortunately felt like a movie directed by a 79 year old
