Genuinely terrible movie. One of the worst I’ve watched in a while.
The idea of Manhattan being a contained prison was an interesting concept but wasted on saving a completely uncharismatic president no one really gave a shit about.
The introduction, to its credit, was very quick but only because if it was any longer anyone would say “this is the best premise they could come up with?”
Boring. No scene within the city was compelling let alone interesting.
Casting…
Looked great all things considered. About as entertaining as it gets.
Some of these reviews are crazy self aggrandizing. The satire wasn’t subtle at all. The social commentary wasn’t even that compelling to me and thought it was more of a vessel to tell an interesting story with bad acting, low budget effects and cliches in a fun and unique way.
It was consensual
My favorite Will Ferrell movie. As quotable as a movie gets. Jokes are still funny after the nth rewatch The plot plods along.
Also love how the movie is maybe 5% about a financial crime but then dedicates the entire credits to rage inducing financial statistics for some reason.
Plot wasn’t very good but I laughed a lot.
I liked instant family better.
