Cool Guy

I will forgive a movie for being slow. I will forgive a movie for having needless jump scares. I will forgive a movie because it is an overall entertaining and enjoyable experience. What this movie will never be forgiven for is the outrageously predictable “twist ending” and staggering amount of plot holes that take you out of being entertained. Was this underground facility located directly next to a scissor manufacturing plant? If the government had abandoned this project, why did they leave these clones to mill around indefinitely while simultaneously feeding and restocking rabbits? Why are these children suddenly comfortable enough with murdering other people that they brag about kill counts after five minutes of initial tears and being afraid? Why do the clones only seem to mirror their real counterparts during the one scene where it would save our protaginists? Assuming the “real” Red who was kidnapped and switched was equipped with an education suitable for her age group from a school above the ground, how is she able to coordinate and plan an entire onslaught among a massive group of meandering clones with no language or mental capabilities? How did they know where to find these people? That isn’t even close to the entirity of holes; just the ones that really stuck out to me. A movie can be entertaining for the sake of being entertaining. I love action movies that don’t even pretend to be realistic. My problem arises when a movie takes it’s rules and backstory completely seriously and STILL manages to fumble as bad as US did. If you enjoy this sort of movie, I will never tell you having an opinion is wrong or you shouldn’t see it. As for me, the only thing keeping me up at night sweating in terror is wondering how many sexual favors Jordan Peele had to trade for immediate and universal critical acclaim.
