Ready or Not 2019
A hilarious and spot-on parable of how the nation's filthy rich, white, craven, murderous, corporatist, gun-loving, "religious" conservative assholes and idiots keep their obscene amounts of inherited wealth and power for themselves and adjust the rules of the game in their favour as they go along, all while having the most outrageous expectations for the rest of society's common people. Fantastic.

All of this badness is attributed to the drug he took during his research into invisibility - an apparent departure from the original story, in which Griffin is already mad when when he takes the serum.…

It really does play like you have heard, like a video game, which is a hollow, dull and, frankly, dumb way to convey the horror story of WW1. The film plays out like a campaign from Call of Duty: Trench Wars. We are quickly introduced to the two main characters and, before we get any backstory or have any opportunity to infer anything about their respective characters, off we go into CGI land. Our characters proceed to encounter obstacle after…
