Awake not Woke!

College the daughter attends is packed full of DEI though considering this a liberal arts college it's probably more accurate than DEI. However the new love interest for the white daughter is naturally a black male. Father's ex military friend is a black male. The writing gets a lot worse in the sequel. Nothing is explained about who this group is or how they can pull off the things they do. The father knows what they are doing but doesn't report them and just leaves the rest of the victims to suffer? How is the FBI not all over the place looking for them? They appear to have unlimited funds and resources but how, and from where? They have an island with full living facilities, boats and cars. They are able to track and locate this family and where the daughter is attending college. They are able to seemingly hack into a ride share company to track and steal the daughters pick up call. This ex military father goes to retrieve his daughter with no backup, no tactical gear or supplies and only a single handgun. Seriously. They main plot point from the first one is never explained. They are kidnapping girls because their women are sterile due to water supply contamination. They are on an island in the middle of nowhere. How is it contaminated and from where? The island we are shown to be inescapable in the first movie is revealed to be well within swimming distance to land. For some reason these survivalist's don't seem to like guns, if they did they could of killed the father 20 times over as he refuses to pick up any of the knives, crossbows or any other weapons, instead resorting to ridiculous cartoonish traps that he seems to have had plenty of time to set up by the dozen. There is no reason for this garbage to exist. Watch the first one if your bored maybe but pretend this garbage never happened. Spoiler...this completely unnecessary sequel ends with the feminist power move of having the daughter get to kill the white male villain.

I wouldn't really say there's any woke in this. It's unclear exactly who the cult is at this point so that could turn into something woke in the sequel. This is an ok low budget survival thriller that will pass the time. The acting is ok though the daughter gets a little annoying whiney at some parts but at least she's not some super human feminist. The writing doesn't make a lot of sense and there's some really questionable things going on. For an ex military guy he makes some very stupid decisions that seem unlikely. I'm trying not to give any spoilers as it's kind of watchable to pass the time. More thriller with a good bit of family drama than action but not the worst and I'll give part 2 a watch.

Racial agenda - Not Sopranos at all

I didn't get very far into the series. It's all about racial agenda.

Comedy is dying...

Or has it been dying for a while already? Either way, it’s crazy how they blow millions making these movies with dozens of people involved, but they won’t spend the right amount or even a decent amount to get a solid script. Am I surprised? Nah, not even a little. Honestly, I’m starting to get used to it, and that’s the worst part of all. There’s gonna come a point where people just stop consuming this garbage and the whole genre starts becoming dead. At least when it comes to movies, because in the theaters there’s still some real ones left like Ricky Gervais who actually dare to do comedy the way it’s supposed to be done. Now, my simplest take is this: if you wanna put on a comedy as background noise for a hangout with friends, it’s perfect. Otherwise it doesn’t make much sense → it’s genuinely bad. Except for one single scene that I’m not gonna spoil, so at least the people who still decide to watch it get that one good laugh. That’s it! I don’t recommend it, but it’s watchable. Bad, yeah… but watchable. Incredible! Oh, and of course it’s woke. A whole bunch of DEI casting, and Tenaya Taylor shows up looking like she’d do a better job as a painting hanging on the wall than actually delivering her own lines. No comment.
