Has its finger on the pulse of 2020. Meshes modern day business and portrays real, accurate culprits who pull these “just business” tactics.

A sad heroin scene plays out that depicts the “Xennials” and late millenial/early Gen Z types and how drug abuse, lose of hope in God surrounded by the fog of war in regards to the ideals of liberalism has effected those younger groups. When the Xennial lights up a J, he mentions in his day, the 1990s, it was all about having out and talking of hope of the future, ideas and getting along.

Tea is served and a nod to the old ruling class who still have skin in the game is an especially nice touch, and to any discerning viewer, it could rightly be seen as what became of them after their great and great-great grand father’s sent their sons to be slaughtered in the World Wars, effectively rendering them without heirs and over time, estates and the political power they once had which held standards, balance and top culture for centuries.
Hats off to Guy Ritchie masterfully painting an elaborate picture, making it thoroughly entertaining, and it being a timepiece marking where our dying civilization is at in 2020.
