One Battle After Another (1 Viewer)

The problem is it's not a black comedy.

It begins and ends there.

Very rarely do I hear rave reviews about a movie and then lose interest half an hour in...........this one falls into that category for me.

I'll take your word for that George, I got the Black Comedy info off wiki. I won't risk 'One Battle after Another' at the cinema as it doesn't look like my type of movie anyway, so no big deal to me how it does at the box office, just another movie meant for younger generations imo. As for movie reviews, it's rare that I agree with the 'majority', e.g. I liked 'Cloverfield', so no accounting for taste as they say.

Any movie that supports domestic terrorism and paints a certain segment of Americans as white supremacists due to their political allegiances is a steaming pile of garbage not worth my time.

Wow, I wasn't aware of that, obviously I didn't pay much attention to the plot etc. I'm surprised it had so many famous actors in it considering that, a sad sign of the times.

I finished watching the movie and liked it, thought it was very good. There was a lot going on in the movie so a lot to consider.

Sean Penn was fantastic but he was also a stereotype. His performances reminded me a lot of General Jack Ripper (played by Sterling Hayden) in Dr. Strangelove. In fact, Penn utters some lines at the end of the movie which are very similar to Hayden’s.

Now, did this deserve the best picture? Not sure. I haven’t seen all the movies yet. I’m planning to watch Marty Supreme and Secret Agent this week but between One Battle and Sinners, I’d probably lean slightly to the latter.

Brad:

I also watched it and thought it was ok.

The one thing I will say is that the best actor in the movie was Benicio del Toro.

The scene near the end where he is talking to the state troopers that pulled him over is short but fantastic.
