American Insurrection

Oh man. I don't know how to feel about this one and it's driving me nuts! I want to like it because as a standalone film it was good, but because it is so obviously a left-wing circle jerk of nonsense I can't bring myself to rate it positively. I even watched their YouTube watch party thing and sure enough they believe in all the usual wacky things that the modern left does. It's not subtle at all and the entire thing just oozes insincerity. If they really wanted to make it a message about finding common ground they should have first ventured outside their own echo chamber (yes, both sides have one!) and learned what the people they're depicting really think. The prisoner in this film just seemed like a caricature to bounce lefty talking points off of with none of the opposing arguments you'd find in reality. "But I'm a muslim!" Hahaha.

Surprising watchable. Obviously some people are going to take offense and feel attacked, triggered maybe, but it's not that bad.

The plot doesn't seem that far fetched of a reality. The right wing fascist beliefs and brainwashing in the world today could lead us somewhere like this. Xenophobia is strong in the US and a lot of other places.

The acting also isn't the best but Michael Raymond-James did a decent job. It does seem like more editing could have made this a little better. Maybe cut the length down about 20 min or so. Nadine Malouf very good as well.

January 6th is a good example of what might be coming.

6/10.

The movie has a weird story does not make any sense. I don't know what the movie is trying to prove. It has a bad plot which is dragged for 1hr 30mins. Please save yourself time don't watch this movie.

If there was a negative value available to rate this movie, I would give it less than 0. The premise of this movie is so absurd that it deserves to be thrown immediately in a dustbin of history.

No idea what the point of this was??? I spent $7 to rent this and as far as I'm concerned it was pointless... just a character study of several people in a no win situation and a little gay stuff thrown in...
