It seems likely that the issue lies in Max Landis’s writing ability, given previous projects such as 'Victor Frankenstein', 'American Ultra,' and 'Bright'. He once described his scriptwriting process as similar to playing 'Angry Birds,' which highlights why not every idea should make it to the screen. However, Roseanne Liang manages to overcome these challenges, successfully creating a tense atmosphere within a single setting for this war film, and delivering chaotic action sequences without holding back. ‘Shadow in the Cloud’ is undeniably flawed, yet surprisingly enjoyable considering its shortcomings.
