One Battle After Another

Just an unbelievable movie. My favorite movie of the 2020’s so far.  It grabs you by the throat in the first 30 seconds and doesn’t let go until the absolute end. For a movie that’s 2 hours and 40something minutes, it feels like a 45 minute TV episode.  Such an important movie with how it depicts the ever-so-present political climate in this country and how the Government is militarizing against its own people, especially the Latino community. For them, life really is just one battle after another. The way this movie will have you on the edge of your seat with the car chase at the end, to having you laugh as Leo struggles to take a selfie with an iPhone. There are so many feelings to be felt in this movie. Sean Penn will win every and all Oscar’s. I hated that man, so mission accomplished by him. His character was horrific, ugly, mean, weird.  Leo was Leo. Maybe my favorite performance of his since WOWS. He’s been funny before but in this? He was hilarious. Those struggling dad moments…. Chase Infinity….man what an acting debut. Will be watching every movie she’s a part of. Benicio Del Toro was amazing as well. This is a movie that I would bet any money is going to get banned in the next 5-10 years. It is that important. Do yourself a favor and see this in theaters. I was able to see it in 70mm and it was beautiful.
