Atonement is ideological, in a way that's the opposite of The Conjuring 2; the latter is opposing the political right, whereas the former is perpetuating right-wing ideology.

I don't actually disagree with your general assessment of Specialist, but might I ask what you particularly find to be the poor acting in the film, and the uninteresting visual nature of it?
