It's actually a good movie outside of its political narrative. A few slow parts and a little peachy but the actions scenes I liked because it lacked the Hollywood "everyone stand and have a conversation before shooting" bs I hate in movies.

No, it's not a good movie. It's a terrible movie.
I suggest watching Law Abiding Citizen. It's this movie without the stink of Uwe Boll around it.
Yeah, that one is actually a good movie. Could've been great if they didn't chicken out with the ending.
Butler actually tells the story of how the studio was surprised to see test audiences upset with the ending. Jamie Foxx was also upset because it was "his" movie and audiences liked Butler more and thought Foxx should have died.
Hollywood hasn't understood America for a long, long time.
I heard Foxx threw a hissy fit and that's why we got that stupid ending. Although I don't know if it is actually true.
Problem with LAC is the ending already happened earlier in the film. Butler's character tells the feds the right move was to say no to the terrorism threats/demands. But they already did that at the very start then capitulated when the first bombing happened. It's lazy it just takes the rest of the movie to get back to square one.
A better ending would also have been Jamie Foxx walking into his cell and shooting him.
Butler should have won
I didnt think that one was that great either tbh. The premise is interesting, but when they get into the details it gets pretty silly.
I thought assault on wall street was decent. But that one's about bankers.
Shalom, my good comrade.
So what did you like outside the political narrative about it?
The terrible and unnecessarily long sex scene with the Asian hooker with bolted on tits? The weirdly autistic 'there's mold' bit in the middle of it? Perhaps the disjointed time jumps? The terrible acting? The terrible pacing? The terrible cutting? The cringy backstory scenes about his absentee father? The retarded shootout scene with the police that was completely unnecessary from a story standpoint?
If you wanna suck the cock of the guy who made the movie Auschwitz and let's his movies get distributed by Jewish owned publishers, go ahead.
Yes, actually I loved the sex scene with the hooker. Reminded me a lot like myself. I thought it was a great scene showing how good people might fuck hookers, and this idea of "Christian Nationalism" with perfect morals is worthless because the good guys are doing "bad things". The hooker was well acted and handled the situation in the best way possible for a hooker. Him caring more about the damage to his building than the sex showed how desensitized he was overall and where his priorities were (which was a good thing). Just getting his rocks off but not sexually obsessed like a like of weirdos are. Giving her a little extra and not being an asshole or demanding more because he owns the building showed his good character. I thought it was one of the better scenes of the movie and even the girl I was watching the movie with agreed. She thought the girl was super cute.
The absentee father part was a great parallel for the problems many millennials face with their boomer parents who are absent from fixing society too (and have been part of the reason society is crumbling).
The shootout with the police was just supposed to depict police dying en masse which is what needs to happen to fix society. The police must be scared of the citizens not the other way around. That whole scene was meant to make police cringe and citizens see them as nothing but ragdolls to be disposed of.
Again, great movie. Sorry, you didn't get it.
You thought the brothel scene that dragged on for 6 minutes and served no purpose but to show tits was great and the girl you were watching the movie with agreed with it and thought the hooker was... cute?
Did a LLM write this "analysis"?
Holy fuck it wasn't art you redditor neckbeard. It was slop.
Talk about low standards. I guess that's what things have come to.
Oh, you're one of those dipshits. Never mind.
