Welcome to Thunderdome

Bold choice to lean into politics and "white people are evil" during an election year.

This is essentially this movie combined with all the movies where humans hunt humans.

The movie starts with a shot at Trump, but without naming him. I figure that's so the movie can apply to any R president. Rs and Ds are never named, but it's clear the murderers are liberals, while their victims are conservatives. That's why I say any R president. While the movie uses politics to set the stage, it's not actually about politics. Both sides are portrayed as smart, but stupid. By the end there's also a very clear message about how politics make us all bigots and stupid. Even if you're educated.

I felt it was important to get that out of the way because I figure the politics in the trailers lead to this film bombing. And yes, it bombed.

Once you get past the political stuff, it's just a dark comedy where humans hunt humans.

Betty Gilpin does an excellent job as the protagonist. She's pretty damn good in G.L.O.W. and it seems she's spreading her wings. We'll probably be seeing her in some more stuff in the future.

It's gory, there are some chuckles, and it's entertaining enough to be worthy of one viewing when you're looking for something light.

Hard for a movie to avoid bombing when people already started to self quarantine, though I doubt it would have done well either way

"White people are the worst," in the trailer, is what turned me off.

Exactly what turned me off too.

I dont think I ever saw the trailer. But, white people are pretty terrible.

Fixed!

I know you were baiting, but that is the part of the argument that people who vilify whitey ignore. History proves any race in power becomes evil, but that doesn't fit their agenda, so they ignore it.
