Excellent but underrated film
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
