    The dream summer of every middle-aged former fratboy. A recruiting film for young republican clubs everywhere. It's got great dialog, very funny.

    Themes include:
    - unironic entrepreneurialism
    - women are playing you against your friends
    - unironic respect of the military
    - white kids in the middle-class world (there is no outside world except Iowa and Ramstein Germany)
    - Love between men occuring only with the question "We cool?" and daddy giving you a fresh cold can of beer.

    I think there must have been a plot that that guy came home from Desert Storm an alcoholic was danced around entirely.

    Fucking stunning and bewildering and incoherent and indifferent to it's own plot dunno man everyone went hard, you'll spend 4 hours tracing the plot over again with whoever you are lucky to watch this with.

    This is not the first movie I've watched with my daughter but it is absolutely the first one I've seen her understand and go nuts on so A+ for that, and goddamn I want more of the title character and less of the bus cat.

    John Wick aint shit, cuz what if it could be very funny, and have insane physical dust ups, too much dummy buddy jokes, and shocking stunning editing that make you shout at the screen "oh fuck that guy got shot!"
