I love this movie so much
hyped garbage
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Ok, so I watched this movie because it has 5 stars. I didn't read what it was about before watching. 40 minutes in I was bored & hubby fell asleep. The plot is overshadowed by gun hating propaganda. And no, I don't have a gun nor support it. But this movie is painfully trying too hard to push the anti-gun agenda at the cost of a plot or entertainment. Boring, waste of the 40 minutes I gave it. I believe it has 5 stars because of the those who agree with the agenda of the movie, rather than it actually being a good movie.
I cant get enough of this movie, it's Jessica's best work so far, in my book.
It does seem this film's ratings are almost purely partisan. Gun buffs give it 1s. Those favoring restrictions give it 9s and 10s. (For the record, I'm a hunter and army veteran whose just fine with most gun restrictions.) Neither high nor low ratings are justifiable. Contrary to the claims of those giving it high ratings, the issue of guns IS central to the plot, action, character motivations, almost everything. Contrary to those giving it 1s, this film is NOT "propaganda." In fact at one point a ludicrous thing happens that's in accord with gun rights mythos: A civilian is saved by another armed civilian. That's pretty rare, contrary to open carry types' wishful imaginations of themselves as Dirty Harry.The problem with the film is that, as it deals with lobbyists, it must given us long expositions of talking points on all sides. This is about as exciting as drying paint. By the time the predictable "twist" about corruption was revealed, you'll be ready to fall asleep.The sole saving grace is the lead actress's driven performance. No other reason to see this. Fast forward past the talking points. The film, minus them, clocks in under an hour.
This movie had so much potential, but was so full of lies and the regurgitated pro-gun and anti-gun talking points, it missed the mark ENTIRELY. Too bad. I hate to see wasted talent.
