I disagree as it wasnt a hard push topic. Yes, the daughter is mixed white/black and it was an obvious value, but wasnt harped on during the movie.Originally Posted by Dan Druff
I disagree and thought I addressed this in my review. There is NOT "a general anti-ICE message" in the film, they did raid the Otay Mesa facility in the beginning, but than that was it, wasnt the message in the movie. NO, they did not "glorifies revolutionaries" in the movie, but that was the whole plot as I explained earlier- There was a revolutionary organization in the whole movie that the gov wants to take down.However, I was also told that the movie has a general anti-ICE message and it glorifies revolutionaries, which is lame. On the plus side, the person said to me that the movie was shot extremely well, and the acting/directing was excellent.
Main plot- The gov wants to take down the revolution group, French 75. The pursuit of the daughter and her real biological father were a secondary story, in my opinion.
In my opinion, I did not see a woke agenda in the movie, in fact, they make fun of some woke daughter's friends once detained. Yes, there is an obvious left sided flavor with the revolution group, but not a push. They have to tell a story and it was very realistic with the federal officers, cars, weapons, bank robbery, car chase, underground radio from a house, etc. You know me by now, if it was woke, liberal or too-Hollywood, I would have posted it here and slammed it. No, they told the story from a center line in my opinion and kept it very realistic and detailed all the way to the end. And I still say Sean Penn's character was a clown and Penn wasnt always acting, rather playing his real self, in my opinion.
Again, the young female actor playing the daughter was very highly trained in firearms and their usage, not woke in my opinion, just realism.
Druff- Your contact gave the general surface stuff, but didnt go deep like my review posted here. I suggest you go see the movie, its worth it.
