May give it a shot. Is it journalist-hero propaganda?

It’s actually not bad. 6.5 out of 10? Maybe a 7

Good enough. It’s showing at an AMC right by my hotel. I’m in.

Yes.

Very modern day and realistic. Not way out there for a dystopian movie.

Real good movie with interesting structure and action. Watch it in Imax if it’s an option.

This is as much of an endorsement as you could ask for, OP.

Audiences seem to be divided.

It’s good. It’s just a very grounded take on an extreme case of political divide in the country. And how specific factions may react to it. Some people murder in the name of God, some observe and report not taking a side, some people don’t know why they’re even fighting, and some even ignore its existence completely. It’s a solid movie

I did get to watch it in IMAX. I thought it was good. Seemed like a Vice-style documentary in some parts. The “what kinda American are you?” scene was intense. There was some beautiful layering of the wild fire and Sturgill song Breaker’s Roar.

Kristen Dunst looked like she was in a mug shot for banging an underage student the whole movie.

If you like movies about how awesome journalists are… go for it.

Very disappointed. Don’t get me wrong it is better than most of the rehashed garbage or superhero movies, but it not only didn’t live up to my expectations, it kind of sucked.

I was looking forward to this one. He's one of my favorite movie makers working today. But it was boring and leaves you really unsatisfied. It’s more an homage to reporters than anything else.

Pablo Escobar was great in it.

The younger female photojournalist was maybe the most annoying character I’ve seen in a movie in a long time.

I thought Wagner Moura did an excellent job.
