Anything Scientologist Marxist Moss is in is liberal...

Female warriors in Swiss Middle Ages... Muslims fighting alongside Christians...

Promotes pacifism toward killers...

The Wakanda of the chess world ...

They don't have heroes, so they invent them.
Steal them, actually.

The main character is, in my opinion, Bobby Fischer, with small boobs and a tight little arse. Also, strangely, less insane.

But basically stealing the life story of a straight white male, and reskinning it as a strong independent female. Lesbian, obviously. In the '60s. Which still happened more often than a woman dominating chess. For those not familiar: same feeling as those 90 pounds waifs beating up 250 pounds commandos.

It's a touchy subject with me, considering how 'they' have successfully erased (Pierre) Curie from history, and are trying cancel Watson & Crick to push (Rosalind) Franklin instead.


The show is well made. Very much so. Taylor-Joy is good, undoubtedly.

But it crosses its Is and dots its Ts. Every white male a combination of stupid, crass and 'oppressive'. Every female perfect, because of course.

It's a sad thing that, being late to the party (the Party?), I give this only a 3/5 woke score simply because no character spontaneously breaks into a song about the joy of socialism.
Well, I haven't watched to the end ...

Adkins falls short once more

As much as I like him, I have to admit Adkins will probably never star in a good movie.
Even the Undisputed flicks were all style and awkward substance.

Again, he proves he falls short as an actor. Not bad, just not good.
The actions scenes are competent albeit very artificial, as in 80s level of bad guys waiting for their turn to get punched in the face.
See the Terminator-like scene in the bar for an egregious example. The whole character is ludicrous, really. El Corvo. The Crow. Because why not.

The script itself is another throwback to the 80s. Crochet. More holes than matter. There are probably better written pornos out there. The filler between the money shots.

At least, the director of photography is having a blast, and it shows. The movie is probably a low budget endeavour (produced by Adkins and Zaror themselves), but it's simply gorgeous in a quite few scenes, and assuredly adequate the rest of the time.


As for wokeness, well, there's no message in here, political or otherwise. I suspect Adkins himself is quite left of center, but he keeps it under wraps. Male feminist ally, I would say. Disgraceful.

Still, he believes in equal opportunity face bashing: females get their noses kicked in the same way males do, quite similarly to Chinese movies of, well, the 80s. Actually, more so: the movie features several violent, close up female deaths, which must have Hollywood's collective pants in a bunch of knots.
Not advocating anything here, but at least it's realistic. Mindless killer is gonna mindlessly kill. Everyone. Not just white (mostly Hispanic here) males, as per usual American fare.

All-in-all a forgettable but somewhat enjoyable popcorn film. Could have been somewhat good for the paltry price of one decent screenwriter ...

Who controls the past controls the future

This TV series skillfully immerses you in a 1960s that never was. It is a rewriting of history to promote an agenda.

* No such female world champion of chess.
* Girl boss.
* Her mentors are betas except the janitor.
* Mother tells her how awful men are.
* Director shows mother spoke truthfully.
* Gay and lesbian hook-ups in the 1960s.
* Turned character from the book gay.
* Annoying black female complains of prejudice.
* Annoying black female uses word "cracker".
* Annoying black female is used as mistress by rich white man.
* Annoying black female is deus ex machina savior.

My woke meter has redlined. That said, it's also pretty good if regarded as an alternate timeline. Was the French woman a Soviet spy? My wife, a former Soviet, was instantly suspicious, and I tend to think she was right.

Portrays sociopath gangsters as heroes, which has always been a liberal trope...

Doesn't even work as a biographical film because it is almost completely fictional with tons of lies...

Any film with skinny girls being tough military soldiers or assassins or whatever is a definite example of Liberal propaganda...

Many liberal idiots were complaining how this is a "military recruitment propaganda film".

Several questions to these fools:

1) Why would you be against that?

2) Are you expecting your "pacifist" blue-haired liberal "armies" to defend America from the hordes of invading barbarians, or do you think a professional military should be continuing this job after all?

3) Did you ever complain about the thousands of Liberal propaganda Films?

4) Did you ever complain about the hundreds of anti-military propaganda films?

5) Who do you think is protecting your sorry useless ass?

What a bunch of whiny clowns...

Mocking Thatcher, making fun of British "nationalists" (because what else woild you be if you were concerned with millions of illegal immigrants?), the usual rubbish that proves that Western Europe is doomed...

The writers are talentless hipsters, much like the blue-haired morons who script Hollywood's awful movies...

Promotes kiddie hedonism, so very much a liberal film...

If anti-racism is among other things a war against overt stereotyping, then how do we explain this virtue-signaling movie promote all sorts of white stereotypes?

The redneck stereotype, the poor Southerner stereotype, the racist white Southerner stereotype, racism is rampant in the South stereotype...

This is one of the early anti-white films. Naive people remember it fondly, trying to make excuses for all of its political nonsense, pretending that Marxist films did not exist before this century, when in fact Hollywood has been making hateful propaganda since the late 60s.

Rubbish thriller based on lies...
