Rating:
8 out of 10, A very funny, very dark comedy. The premise has a bunch of rich,
very liberal elites setting up a hunt for some red state “deplorables”, an
update to the most dangerous game. There’s some very funny skewering of both
ends of the political spectrum and I don’t see what all the fuss was about when
this first came out. There are some very good actors involved, including two
Oscar winners. Don’t get too comfortable, as I did, when a recognizable actor
appears on screen because they’re probably about to be added to the body count.
I hadn’t seen the star, Betty Gilpin, in anything
but she’s someone to keep an eye on, very talented with great timing. Don’t
watch this if cinematic heads getting blown off bothers you. It was sneaky fun
to see the overblown idiots from both ends of the political divide get served
up though.
MVP:
Betty Gilpin as the very dangerous Crystal
