  If the FBI trawled library records today and found someone borrowing Mein Kampf they'd probably give them a job

  Good fun, excellent acting and a very unsubtle but impactful metaphor that I think hits home. The movie runs through a lot of social issues and combines them all well but maybe could've focused on some in more detail.

  The premise of printing a new version of yourself is applied here to 'expendables', the lowest of the low class, and it's a really great premise, but I would've been interested to see a version where the ruling class used it…

  Challengers 2024

  ★★½ Watched 23 Apr 2024 2

  There is a good movie in here somewhere...but:

  - no one in real life speaks like this
  - you need to have some likability in the characters for us to care about them
  - if you spend too long building tension the audience will eventually check out and not give a shit about the climactic story point you're building up to 
  - the video game POV shots are ALWAYS bad 

  I will say it was a lot better than Bones And All though!
