What a sad life. Cloistered, disconnected. Hardly a patriarchy. The dregs of society. Howard is Chad’s little dweeb. Just like his marks, who are cleverly presented in this film. The main target is a deaf near-mute. We don’t even see the other girls’ faces. Pure objects.

It’s a very chatty affair, but not too stagey despite being based on a play. It’s an ideas piece, and it’s pretty effective. 

Do these men exist? Yes, kinda. But it reminds me more of secondary school dick-waving and shithousery than anything I’ve encountered in adult life. But there is definitely a strain of lads in the modern manosphere that look like Howard: self-perceived betas who think they need to shift into zero-sum to make any kind of connection with women.

I genuinely don't know how to rate this because I went from being scared, to being bored, to being scared again. We're all victims of the patriarchy. I wish I had a fake corporate job like the men in this movie but I am unfortunately a woman with a bad personality instead of a man with a bad personality, so I guess I'll have to stick with working in healthcare.

“Let’s hurt some people”

These guys suck. Aaron Eckhart is unbearable in this. Probably the biggest dickhead character I’ve ever witnessed in film.
