re: American Made: Spoilers

Just watched it and hatttteeedd it

1.) they really went for a powderpuff version of the Barry seal story. There's so much political drama and entertaining parts they left on the table

2.) making Barry seal some sort of family man was fricking hilarious. Dude was a coke and whore addict. This movie made him out to be father of the year

3.) literally no character development. Barry never changes and no other character is given enough screen time to even get a sense of what character they are. I was laughing at the end when they gave a "where are they now" eulogy to the pilots that were in the movie for a whole 7 minutes like why would we give a frick where those characters went.

4.) everything about it was lazy and cheap. The voice over kind of explained plot holes that the actual movie stumbled over, almost like they made the movie and then added the voice over after wards. They added in some forced comedy and upbeat music to make you think you're having fun, when the actual scene has not been properly setup. They didn't even bother to update the cars a little. He died in the 90s but every car they showed was from the 1970s it felt like, as was everyone's clothes


Man that was such a missed oppurtunity for this movie to be fun. It could've been a wolf of wallstreet level crazy mixed in with some wild political drama, but they decided to make it a watered down lazy pieced together action movie that didn't have a lot of action. They even pussed out on the ending.
