Every point the film wants to make has to be roared via lengthy speeches and declarations made straight down the lens. Any deeper meaning becomes lost. When the fires finally subside, there's not that much to be found in the ashes.

Gleeful... I turned to myself and went, "wow."

Here it is, the definitive movie for the Donald Trump era. Like Trump, it's crass, disturbing and devoid of subtext. Unlike him, it has style, self-awareness and a sense of humour.

As violent as the film can get, it purposefully does so to show us the absurd extremes we as a society can go to deflect blame and responsibility.
