Too long

Not necessarily bad but too long scenes, same speech countless times. Could have been a good short movie and still pass the message.

Appalling and Impressive

The word "Intense" doesn't even begin to cut it. This film WILL make you feel something. It might be anger, it might be fear; it will most certainly be disgust. I seriously felt gross watching it. And that is why I believe the filmmakers did something really brilliant here. If you can stomach listening to the hate-fueled words of the most racist individual you could imagine for 90 minutes, this is worth watching. The way it's put together is artful and beautifully cinematic, (in a gross and gritty way). I was horrified, appalled, and impressed by this film.

A bad idea unless intended

Just watched it till the end because I thought there must be a whopping good twist or point coming. But nope. Can't unhear it (nothing to see really). Suggest you do not.

If anything its a free ticket to being able to spew hate and vile idea's. There is no balance, there is no lesson/idea; about 99% is cursing. Its a good source for foul language and anti-social behaviour. And its true that such an ideology like this exists I might even agree (if ever so slightly) with some of the arguments made. But it does nothing for those who do not share such a world view, rather it is fuel and intoxicating for those who do. We have seen the effect recently with the 2020 elections.

In short: A bad idea to give bad ideas such an accessible platform and format.

Some Unused Potential

I gave it a 5/10 because I think they were at least trying to do something interesting. A lot of the 1 or 2 star reviews on here are pretty clearly from conservatives upset about the film's message and "propaganda." I suppose that's understandable. My issue with the film is not the message, but rather that it just isn't very good. You can only look at the same few shots of a guy talking to a camera for so long before it gets old. The Cactus Jack Show sections are far more interesting. We finally get some vibrant color and the imagery is pretty horrifying and surreal. If more of the film was like that - or if it had a narrative element at all - this could have really been something. I'm hoping that the people who made this film learn some lessons from it, because I think they have real potential.

Garbage that tries to make a name for itself using the most overused and over exaggerated words for the last 4 years.

Title says it all. This is a waste of time and effort and shouldn't even be viewed by by anyone. It's pure tribalism trying to get one side to hate the other based on assumptions of a reddit rat. Mind numbingly ridiculous and over the top in the worst way possible.
