I'm intelligent enough to be neutral on the politics so I'll keep this about form. I will say trying to monetize this dark zeitgeist is pretty... Faustian. This movie is poorly formulated, has shallow characters that seemingly regess throughout the film until they're doing things that make no sense. The action , although impressive in location at one point, still looks very modern and clean. Really clean. This is a war film. Like brand new box springs for road obstructions.That's actually a problem I'm seeing in films more recently. This cheapness of set and reliance on CGI. This movie pretends to be more than it is. It holds itself up as complicated satire but just feels over the top in its delivery the whole time. It's trying to be subtle while still trying to explain everything. Anyways. This movie, at the end of the day, is just annoying. Especially right now. Most of us want some form of entertainment when we see movies. This felt very much like a lecture taught by a pretentious teacher.
