Sleeper comment- Seems like this movie is an unknown ,regardless of Leo. So as people see it, it gets traction, it will wake up.

Sounds like a small thing, but I'm happy to hear they used real CA highway scenes.
It's a pet peeve of mine when they use stand-in roads/highways to represent elsewhere, especially if I know the highways being depicted.
For example, I despise when movies show people driving into Vegas on a 2-lane, non-divided highway. Anyone who has ever driven to Vegas knows that you come in via I-15 (or US-95), no matter which direction.
Anyway, if the right would have been upset about this film, we'd have heard about it already. So that's not happening.
I agree on all points and hope I reported back correctly. To me, the Highway 78 sign and scenes looked correct, but now I'm second guessing myself. During the car chase scene, I said- Looks like Sacramento and then we see the Sac City police cars. I also think the Otay Mesa scene looked real. The inside seemed pretty real.Quote:

I kinda dont see that happening as their fight and revolution didnt go so deep on the film. Or atleast didnt seem deep to me. Seemed left winged some, but not so specific.Quote:

I guess I missed this part yesterday- Race or racism in the movie. For me, it was not a factor or a Hollywood agenda in the film as the whole plot was really about law enforcement trying to capture the underground bad guys and then specifically the daughter. Race and interracial relations was covered some with the lead female character, her side fling and the old man group. But I cant not call the move "woke" or left winged agenda and if you know me here, I would have for sure.Quote:

As I said, I don't care about this issue, but at the same time can acknowledge it's dumb that Hollywood tries so hard to do stuff like this.
As I watched the movie, I was on the edge of my seat more and couldnt wait to come back here to do my review. Why- because the whole movie (to me) was not what we thought it was. As usual, I am probably wrong here, but just the way I saw it.
I hope Druff sees this movie.

desertrunner has mostly dated nonwhite chicks (by choice), so he's not one of those dudes who gets upset seeing a white person dating outside their race. He does it all the time himself.
I agree with him that there's a lot of token interracial/gay couples depicted now just for diversity's sake, and that's dumb. For example, in this movie, though I know little about it, I'm guessing there was no reason to have DiCaprio's character written to have a black wife and daughter, other than because some lib felt it was important to make some kind of small social statement with it.
What's idiotic is the fact that, aside from white supremacists, nobody gives a shit about interracial couples anymore. It's very common nowadays, so there's no reason to teach the plebes a lesson that it's okay. Maybe in the early '80s this would've carried some social value, but today it's just virtue signaling via writing.
It doesn't bother me, though. I don't care the race of DiCaprio's movie love interest. I'm sure the movie would be no better or worse with a white woman and white daughter cast. But I doubt it will really bother anyone in the GOP except maybe Nick Fuentes types, because that's just not an issue in 2025.

So I still haven't seen this, but I heard someone talk about the plot, and without giving too much away, apparently the love interest (and daughter) being black actually figures into the plot, so it wasn't just a token character choice for wokeness. So that's good, I guess.
However, I was also told that the movie has a general anti-ICE message and it glorifies revolutionaries, which is lame. On the plus side, the person said to me that the movie was shot extremely well, and the acting/directing was excellent.
I disagree as it wasnt a hard push topic. Yes, the daughter is mixed white/black and it was an obvious value, but wasnt harped on during the movie.Quote:

NO, they did not "glorifies revolutionaries" in the movie, but that was the whole plot as I explained earlier- There was a revolutionary organization in the whole movie that the gov wants to take down.Quote:

Main plot- The gov wants to take down the revolution group, French 75. The pursuit of the daughter and her real biological father were a secondary story, in my opinion.
In my opinion, I did not see a woke agenda in the movie, in fact, they make fun of some woke daughter's friends once detained. Yes, there is an obvious left sided flavor with the revolution group, but not a push. They have to tell a story and it was very realistic with the federal officers, cars, weapons, bank robbery, car chase, underground radio from a house, etc. You know me by now, if it was woke, liberal or too-Hollywood, I would have posted it here and slammed it. No, they told the story from a center line in my opinion and kept it very realistic and detailed all the way to the end. And I still say Sean Penn's character was a clown and Penn wasnt always acting, rather playing his real self, in my opinion.
Again, the young female actor playing the daughter was very highly trained in firearms and their usage, not woke in my opinion, just realism.
Druff- Your contact gave the general surface stuff, but didnt go deep like my review posted here. I suggest you go see the movie, its worth it.
This movie is going to be be playing again at a local theater. I am planning on going again and too bad Druff couldn't make it because he is on vampire time.
