This Was America

Whilst I'm all for this indie's politics and messaging, as a cautionary tale this dystopian exploration of a near-term fascist America lacks the twists and turns it needs to make it a compelling view. It is blunt, direct and matter of fact, all of which is fine, but for all its starkness, there is little intrigue and no spark to keep the fires of interest burning. The scary thing is that the scenario depicted is so close to today's reality, we're already numb to the message held within. The film really needed to turn it up a notch, tighten up the narrative, and make something interesting happen.

If anything this film soft pedals what is going on even right now...if allowed to continue it will be much, much worse!

And absolutely not, both sides are not equally to blame. Democrats may, at many times be too weak and spineless and all too fearful, but the Reptilians and trumpler will lie, cheat and steal right out in broad daylight for everyone to see and then tell you to your face that they did not do so...or just ignore the question altogether.

To say nothing of the ubiquitous and absolutely incredible hypocrisy constantly on display.

This film is not great, but it is earnest, sincere and watchable.

Now try to watch the loathsome diatribes emanating from "the other side" with "alternate facts" that must have been extracted via enema...

No humor, sub-par acting, story felt conspiracy theory driven and out of touch with reality, or at the very least severely limited in perspective. Reminds me of films made by obscure cults.

I see the Canadian talent pool of competent actors is almost empty now. More ironic that the ones with actual talent all live in Hollywood USA Something tells me Michael Moore had a hand in this dreadful movie somehow.

Wow!!" 10/10? Realy? Are these people high or something? The worst film I Have ever seen.
