The book has at least fifty IQ points on the movie. Its characters are all confused and implausible, as unreal as their names, and the events are ridiculous, but never in a way that "takes you out of it"—if you accept it and let it happen.The novel it's based on looks like it was basically just written to glorify the Weather Underground
The movie is retard shitlib ripped-from-the-headlines anti-Drumpf propaganda—in fact, in its critical reception and fan understanding, despite its maker's claims to having made something deeper or less deep (whichever's convenient). I think the director's rejection of praise for making exactly the kind of establishment propaganda he intended to make is embarrassment at what stupid assholes it's turned out to appeal to. (How could he not have known? He's not very smart.)
I say this without having seen it, and I never will see it, because it's a travesty of something I like, and it's not made for watching but for being for or against, to consoom or reject, and to say things about (yourself).
The book was almost great. Less so now, with another man's horrible turd hanging out of its ass.
