Anyone else see the movie or have thoughts?

Yes, worth a watch.

I thought this thread might get more traction for the filmmakers’ decision not to use real firearms and (to me) it not making a difference. Guess I should’ve added Biden or Trump in the title!

Probably depends on the weapon. I’m sure with a revolver directors want to see the cylinder rotate.

And then people complain “It’s all politics, politics, politics around here!”
