It's been so long since I've seen this I forgot a lot of it. It's a classic and is still watchable with some good tension and unsettling scenes. The camera work is incredible and worth watching for that alone. The biggest issue is it depends largely on if it's your first watch or not. There have been so many copycats since it was made that a lot of the scenes seem cliché now and you can see what's coming a mile away. The other big issue is the 'hero' is so unlikable and such a pathetic whiney idiot who constantly does the dumbest things. The ending also is a bit of a letdown. There is nothing woke and it is never boring but if it's a first time watch it may not seem as good as it was when it first came out.

Pretty much every woke trope you can think of. Way over the top with the DEI overrepresentation. White is most definitely a minority here.
A large amount of women in leadership and positions of power. Actually there was an exceptionally high female casting in general in this for
the type of movie this is intending to portray. Multiple mixed race couples. Beta househusband. Of course the president is black. The only thing I didn't see was any alphabet mafia but honestly by the one hour mark I was bored out of my mind and paying little attention so it's possible I missed it. This is one of the most boring movies I've watched recently. This is not a thriller or at least not a well done one. The idea is actually pretty good but the execution is terrible. The entire movie is basically close ups of people talking and looking at computer screens and readouts. Nothing about this is realistic in any way. There is so much melodrama and overacting is almost comical. Then there's the fact that you are really only watching the same 30 minute movie 3 times on repeat just from 3 different perspectives. There is virtually nothing new presented in the 2nd and 3rd retread and it's boring and pointless. Then on top of all that there is no ending. It's a lazy copout use your imagination ending.

Decent action flick, no woke to worry about.

Fun quick near futuristic movie to pass the time. Nothing life changing but still a decent watch. It's something I could see happening in the near future so that was interesting to watch but the action and story were enough to keep you invested in the characters. NO WOKE so that was also a BIG plus!

Solid, fun action flick

Happy to report it’s not woke at all and it’s entertaining from start to finish. It plays around with familiar action-movie elements, but it handles them well all the way through.

No woke content. There’s a bit of diversity here and there, but nothing forced. Great movie to just kick back and enjoy.

Enjoy it!

Couldn't even start the movie...

I couldn't even get through the trailer. More feminist garbage as a woman kills hundreds of male pirates that are bigger and meaner than her yet she can easily dispatch them all.

Low budget very bland boring 70's brit horror. An anthology movie wrapped by a story about a psychiatrist interviewing patients at an
asylum. Average to bad acting, no scares and in some cases scenes meant to be 'horror' are just silly and comedic. It's all very tame and bland PG horror. Nothing woke but not really worth watching either.

A slightly above average slasher from 1989. The story is standard, the acting is pretty bad and it's fairly obvious who the killer is. The standout is the very well done for it's time gore FX and inventive kills. It should be noted I watched the uncut version. There are several different versions of the this with some being very heavily edited and containing almost none of the gory scenes. Nothing woke and watchable if your a horror or slasher fan.

Meh.

Years ago, I had a friend from the Laplands. He told me about his career in hockey. He couldn't play the game. His role was a Goon. He was about 5'6" and very stout. If it wasn't for him, I would think this movie was BS. I'm only a hockey fan during the Olympics (USA-Gold!!!). It's hard to accept that the role of Goon actually exists. Spoiler... it does.

The movie is a fictionalized biography based on a book that I now intend to read. ($20 Kindle) I may edit my review after that.

The basic plot:
- Simple minded bouncer has a chance encounter with a losing hockey team manager resulting in a "tryout."
- Bouncer is now a Goon who can barely skate but scares the daylights out of all opponents. Also, meets girl. Team starts winning.
- Big lead up to the final, big game where he must meet the about-to-retire goon of goons legend.

It's pretty predictable from there. It's raunchy with language, violence and a few R-rated scenes.

The Woke is due to his homosexual brother who plays a very minor role. There's no agenda that I could see. The man-on-man kiss near the beginning was a fleeting one and done. I think they just checked the DEI box with that one to get the movie released.

Great over-the-top violent, action mixed with humor.

Given the cast, I was expecting DEI-fest. I was pleasantly surprised. The "kill-the-bad-guys" action was John Wick level. Bautista and Mamoa worked great together. With all the fight scenes, there wasn't a single female performing bad-assery that ruins action movies and TV. Morena Baccarin did do some Ken Block level driving, but it worked. That was mostly CGI anyway. Perhaps Hollywood is getting the idea. (go-woke, go broke)

Delicious take on Kamen Rider that is too sweet on the messaging

Despite the cheerful and colorful appearance coupled with goofy candy motifs, the mature and sometimes dark undertones that undergird the themes are actually selling point. Furthermore, the bad guys are almost equivalent to human traffickers and drug cartels.

That said, it does try to sell the point that one should seek happiness the way one wants to, but sometimes our happiness actually comes from God and our relationship with Him who leads the way. Now, given this is Japanese culture, it’s to be expected that they would define happiness differently, but I just wanted to put that out there.

One downside for kids who want to emulate heroes like this Kamen Rider- don’t let them have too much sugar!

Top-tier anti-woke comedy

That's it!

He is the G.O.A.T. 🐐

Woke! with LGBT+, the rest of the alphabet and then some.

What can you say about Toni Collette? Brilliant actor? yes. Extreme activist who influenced her own children to be gender-confused for her own political confirmations? Absolutely.
Toni played these characters to perfection. It's a diverse group of personalities in one woman. The great acting is undeniable. If it wasn't for the LGBT+ agenda, this would be a great series.
The son is a homosexual. The response from dad when he tells him: "good for you." A lot of the plot is about him and his "self-discovery" in a strong agenda.

The story and acting is great. The agenda is overpowering. What a waste.
