Assassination Nation

Bit of an odd one, good odd. The sort of thing that'd usually earn all of its points out of pure catharsis, but is to confronting to be any way actually cathartic, and hits the message over and over again instead, which normally I hate, but _Assassination Nation_ works because of the hate. It's a very hateful movie, with just a sliver of what you might have expected it would be like based on the trailer right at the very end, but otherwise, grim. In a good way though. A way that works, makes you think, but still has all #TheAesthetic™ you can shake a stick at, it just makes you feel bad for shaking that stick. Do you like _The Purge_ but feel that the mirror it holds up is too general? Wanna feel bad about feeling good? Give _Assassination Nation_ a crack. _Final rating:★★★½ - I real

This idea kept playing over and over in my head. We as a country, our lust for entertainment has sort of superseded our sense

Crazy ass movie. What people can really be driven to do when necessary is crazy. I liked this movie.

I"m getting ham-fisted over the head by a dead horse. I'm so fucking clever you couldn't ever get it and I like Quentin Tarantino and know about all the movies that inspired him. Because of my insane intelligence, I know these women are empowered. Not all men are bad. My large brain does find the whole thing a little unbelievable. They didn't set up the apocalypse as well as Beyond Thunderdome.
