This film does not benefit from a theatrical setting.
This movie is made to fold your laundry to.
I'm going to say it.
It's not deserving of your full attention because it doesn't know what to do with it.
Watching this film, it's like, well, what are you looking at?
Here's a decapitation.
So would you tell folks, I mean, obviously we're not recommending this film, but would you tell folks to see this in a local Cineplex?
I really wouldn't.
podunk municipalities getting decommissioned military hardware and and why like nothing good can come from this and it's like oh is this going to be a satire about the overarming of law enforcement of course not no i mean like that's the closest thing this film gets to a point of view like yes this film so months to be uh rebel ridge which ironically was you know a streaming film but this is like first draft there's a film i would have watched in a theater glenn absolutely
But, like, this is Rebel Ridge without a take, without an angle, without a point of view, without a reason for existing.
There's also – I'm not going to make a big thing of this because certainly the movie doesn't make a big thing of it.
There's a queer character here, trans, possibly non-binary character in a storyline that is so underwritten it feels like good old-fashioned tokenism.
You know, a shorthand for us to underscore how bad the bad guys are because they don't accept trans people.
That's how we did this in the 80s.
Why are we still doing this?
Well, I think we've exhausted all our takes on what is a pretty exhausting film.
