Successful action flick, failed critique of conservatism

As action sci-fi, this works great. As the devastating denunciation of the dangers of conservatism, which director Verhoeven intended, well, it's the usual leftist fail. Mostly because Verhoeven is quite ignorant of European history. To his defense, he had been a European for barely 6 decades at the time of shooting. Of course, as intended, I don't agree with the overly fascistic rhetoric and the obvious Nazi imagery. And then I remember, Mussolini had been a top-dog Italian Socialist before he went off and founded his own party, and the Waffen-SS were literally the armed branch of the National Health bureaucracy of Germany's National Sozialismus. So, prescriptive collectivism is the opposite of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Socialism bad? Not quite what Verhoeven intended to say, but what he ended up saying anyway. Pretty much like Showgirls denounced female exploitation by means of round-the-clock naked smokeshows...

The beginning is actually good...

...but that's pretty much it. It fools you into thinking this is actually a decent Die Hard clone for the first 20 minutes or so. The main character is ok, Jason Bateman as the villain is fantastic, Dean Norris is always a pleasure to watch, and the story is your typical Die Hard / Speed wannabe, no problem there. But it is Netflix, and we all know what that means: of course it HAS to have forced DEI, a man saying "my husband!", a butch black woman making the cringiest face expressions and walking ever, another woman who is clearly more calm and focused than the main character, and another gay man doing something heroic out of nowhere. Not to mention the obvious female politician involved in the story. If that weren't enough, the script becomes very stupid very fast, with lots of cringy moments (like the car scene, one of the cringiest scenes I've ever watched in my life), lazy writing moments, and situations that are just unnecessary or make no sense at all. Honestly, at this point, I will just start avoiding everything Netflix releases from now on. I'm so tired of this crap.

Could have been good..

This started off very good for the first few episodes, interesting storyline and characters. But then at the start of episode 3 ruined by faggotry. I'm fucking sick of this bullshit where they make a show that guys would obviously be interested in, then get them into it and a few episodes in the most masculine character who you would expect to be picking up women is fucking gay. I especially don't want to see guys kissing. Disgusting. Avoid.

DEI Crossed

Yes, the waters are shifting in that direction. Although the series is entertaining and only seven episodes are currently available, the screenwriters have clearly made distinct narrative choices that reflect the application of DEI principles. A clear example is (SPOILER ALERT) the inclusion of a transgender character in the cast. However, it’s not this inclusion that makes it “woke.” What highlights Netflix’s injection of political messaging into the Korean production are the excessive explanations and justifications for THAT character’s motivations in relation to the plot, which feel out of place within the dynamics of that universe.
