I agree with a lot of other reviewers that the movie was "uneven", missing some continuity or something else I cannot not put my finger on this moment. But watching so many fine actors in this movie was worth the watch. You know Christian Bale always brings an A game, but Margot Robbie and John David Washington were also excellent. As well as Rami Malek and Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, et. Al

But perhaps the greatest contribution of this movie is to remind us (again) how delicate is our democracy, and now, along with the Civil War and January 6th, we're reminded of another attempt to reshape this country in some awful, illegal and immoral way. I haven't yet read War Is a Racket by Smedley Butler, perhaps it is time.
