Phantom was almost offensively awful. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the first throng of ominous bass tones.
There is no back-story; we don’t care about the initial mission conversation that is bland and unimportant. Sailors who have just come home have to leave again for a secret mission. Every one is upset. Boo f!#$ing hoo.
