Kicking this thread back off, because the reviews have started coming out.
So I'm going to call this now, I don't think this film will suck, maybe just okay, and if I'm wrong well good, and if I'm right then Hollywood still sucks and nothing changes. This movie is going to be the next Hurt Locker, it's going appeal to put the average fat city dwelling Hipster who actually gets a glimpse into something they consider taboo, but the tactics will be shit, the plot will be laughable, the acting decent but over done in a lot of places, and in the end it will be just another action thriller that fails to move any sort of ball forward because they try to appease everyone and in doing so, please no one.
Why do I say this? Just look at the rags shilling for this movie verse what actually remains of the press these days and you'll find that they differ greatly in their messaging while saying the same thing.
Slate has the following: "A24’s most expensive movie to date is borderline incoherent. That doesn’t mean it’s not important." What BS, because they just go on to allude to "Not for nothing, it’s also the moment that suggests the most strongly that the vaguely defined conflict in this fictive America has everything to do with race."

The Free Press on the other hand has the following summery: no political message, no deeper understanding in to why people are fighting from Press who are there to "cover the story" don't end up saying anything just showing the destruction.

So this is my pre-take on the movie, I'm probably not going to see it until it's on Amazon to rent for under $10
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

I kind of like the idea that that they mix up the politics. If you have lefty's bitching that there isn't enough message that's a good thing. We have WAY too many retards in America talking about civil war right now. From BLM/Antifa scumbags to disability cheat/sovereign citizen/auditor basement commandos that show up on these forums. People can sense the idiocy out there and that boils up in art. That being said, I doubt I will go see this movie, it looks like something that should be free on Netflix.
Now a REALLY GOOD movie is "Late Night with the Devil." I took my teenage daughter to see it last week and it was cool as hell. It is a found footage horror flick that is actually good creepy.
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”

I like Alex Garland’s books and films. I’ll likely enjoy this one as well. Probably seeing it this weekend.

The wife and I are going to see it Saturday.
Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

All I know is I gotta grab some of them red sun glasses.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

“What kind of American are you?”, sounds like the 21st Century “You sure do gotta purdy mouth…”.
I think a movie about Civil War should inherently be incoherent.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
