It's just barely passable as a dumb action movie if you want to turn you're brain off. Seeing McGregor as a crazy leprechaun of chaos and psychopathic mirror to the sociopathic MC is great fun. But otherwise it sucks ass. The fight scenes were mostly a let down. Too ungrounded and silly. Based on the poster, I was expecting at least a few great fight scenes between Gyllenhaal and McGregor, but there wasn't even one that lived up to my expectations. McGregor isn't introduced til halfway thought the film and his fight scenes, except for the final one, all involve some goofy gimmick looney toons sh*t. The final fight is mostly boxing. I expected more grappling or interesting choreography in a movie with a real UFC fighter and where one of the characters is supposed to be ex-UFC. The short early fight scenes were the best because they were the most grounded. The overuse of CGI is also goofy and off-putting. None of the characters was as fleshed out as I would have liked and none of the relationships were convincing (though this may have been the point as the MC is a sociopath with no real connection to the people he's fighting for. He just wants to keep fighting regardless of why). A lot of acting felt hollow and amateurish, as if just reading the lines. As for the poz: There's the typical strong black woman bar owner. Her father was a sort of civil rights "hero." The negro child who's bookstore is burned down is supposed to make you cry so hard you give up on any concept of borders or segregation or whatever. The White bouncer at the bar is a weak loser. The love interest is a latina. The villain is an evil White developer who's family built the town (White man bad, even when they literally built the town). He's got the best character motivation in the film, even though it's hardly touched on. Despite his portrayal as weak and evil, I wanted to root for him. He's sort of a poorly drawn caricature of a Richard Spencer type, at least in look. I'm disappointed he didn't get more speaking time and there was really only one conversation between him and the MC before the final action scene. If AI was better and not censored, I'd make a cut where Richard Spencer gets spliced in as the bad guy antihero, he wins over MC by comparing his endless need to fight regardless of cause to the faustian spirit endlessly seeking new frontiers. You'd see a montage of MC reading Neitzeche, Spengler and other /ourguys/. He eventually agrees to join Spencer in his project of forcibly gentrifying Florida to create a better world and a future for White children. He then befriends the psycho McGregor and they both attack the bar, killing the owner or scaring her into selling. End on him, McGregor and Richard Spencer toasting glasses of champagne atop the penthouse suite of the newly built Glass Keys resort, filled to the brim with smiling white families. This is what they took from you.
