You expect people like Diaz to seek out good stuff? Misery prefers company, after all…

That’s the beautiful irony of this whole dumb operation. Part of me thinks it’s kind of a sunk cost-mentality;

“Well, we spent a lot of money to save money, and this is as good as it gets. Might as well stick to our guns on this one; wouldn’t want to look stupid, admitting we made a bad investment”

It’s been a while since I set foot in a McDonalds, and I know now that I’ll just make my own burgers from now on.

one more step closer towards being a real dystopian sci-fi satire. Welcome to your RoboCop future; we serve burgers and give you E. coli with our chopped onions…

Everything looks the exact same; it always looks too clean and too manufactured. The kicker? You’re doing all of this over a McDonald’s commercial; the fucking poster child of American capitalism. I’m not surprised you would resort to such scuzzy tactics, but I AM disappointed to know you just took

What’s the point of creating anything if you don’t have the patience or creativity to make your vision a reality? Artists do that every day as either a hobby or a job; they give feelings and ethereal concepts a shape. I guess what you’re doing is TECHNICALLY that, but where’s the personal touch?

Yeah... it's still dumb, I know. I'm just going by what this movie is giving me.

Fraser has had one hell of a second wind career boom recently, and I think he's earned that after his masterful performance in 'The Whale'.

XD Right, it was a pretty slow year. I mean, what did this movie compete against again?

So, there's that; that's like the one good thing about the movie I can think of. It's still extremely manipulative, stilted and feels more like a PSA against gun violence than a movie, but...

... I still stand by that one positive.

But then later on? It's shown why; the bullets they bought turned out to be blanks.

The daughter sees this, runs out, and jumps in front of her father just as the gun fires...

... and she's completely unharmed. The 'magic cloak' saved her and her father from death.

Then the moment where the two details collide. Without going into great detail about why any of this was happening, the owner of the gun in the first scene approaches the father in the second scene, holding him at gunpoint.

Another detail they bring up is that there's a father and his daughter that have a little something called a 'magic cloak', which protects its wearer from harm. They make it a point where the father gives the cloak to the daughter, to make her feel safe.

It's a moment that actually has a long and decently paced setup too, as the whole thing starts out with the buying of ammunition at a gun store. The store clerk asks if they are aware of what kind of ammunition it is, the buyer just wants to buy it and leave, and the transaction takes place.

Indeed they are.

It REALLY shouldn't have, no! It's fucking gold!
