One Battle After Another

Viva la revolucion!!! This film was one of the best politically charged features I've seen in a long time, one which doesn't dwell on safe centric views but portrayed the harsh raw reality of most activists in this world today. Things don't always go your way, and that is absolutely darn canon to today's reality - with most activists silenced, detained, killed, even worse. Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti give the performances of their lifetime in this film and I wouldn't be surprised if they won loads of accolades for it. Leonardo, as usual, smashes it in his role and Sean Penn plays this dangerous antagonist who is weirdly funny and creepy at the same time. But I have to say, Benicio was hilarious as fuck. He gave the comic relief needed in intense moments and came in clutch for the plot armor. Overall, it sucks that I didn't watch this last year and it couldn't make my year-end list but it definitely would've.
