You know how sometimes you can watch a movie and go "Oh my God this movie is so aggressively 70's/80's/90's" in like the tropes, styles and cultures?

This is one of the only movies I can think of where I can definitively say this is a 2000's ass movie.

Like I feel like I wanna put it in a time capsule and preserve it for future generations to look at as a window into 00's media.

This movie is such over complicated, boring action movie slop that takes itself so seriously I stopped watching about 3/4 the way through to play Powerwash Simulator.

Whether I try to approach it ironically or in earnest it just completely loses my interest with pompous nonsense and halfbaked one-liners.

This could've been so interesting of it wasn't so devoted to being up it's own ass for 2½ hours.

Absolutely mindnumbing.

Finding out the crew working on this movie didn't even have a character bible to go off of made so much more sense in retrospect

It's like trying to build a bookshelf with no screws.

A brutally visceral tale of existentialism, ethics and personhood with absolutely beautiful cinematography and score, all the actors nail their roles perfectly.

Definitely would recommend looking up on DoesTheDogDie before viewing if you're squeamish or sensitive to topics of sexual nature, violence, death and ableism as this movie does not pull punches and is very quick to show these aspects as an integral part of the experience in understanding the main character.

I can understand how this movie could be deeply polarizing.

If unprepared you will be totally caught off guard and might not have a good time as it can be extremely triggering to some people.

Overall I loved it even through the rough scenes of moral and ethical ambiguity but I wouldn't recommend it lightly, if you have strong media literacy and a love of the arts you might love it too.

My family and I watched this huddled together in my room because our AC broke for a week during an AZ heatwave and it was the only room cool enough to exist in.

I was so delirious from heat exhaustion the only thing I ed about the movie was I thought it was boring and mid.
