Reviews
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
