Why all the bad reviews and failure at the box office? Ours is not to know why. I watched this on Disney + while laying on the couch and I didn't fall asleep. In fact, I ended up sitting up as I became engrossed in a story well told and acted. The heat between John David Washington and Margot Robbie was palpable. Perhaps the only downfall was Mike Myers - you just can't help but think of Austin Powers each time he's on screen.

Perhaps the best thing about the movie is that it reflects what's happening in American society at the moment - power hungry people doing everything they can to stay in power and or change the course of history - for their own ends and benefits - not for those of the people. History repeats, again and again. When will we ever learn.
