    I think it's a pretty good action film that's very funny, but a bad satire film. The classic phrase 'good satire has to have an obvious intention' is definitely the problem with this film. If you're looking, there are amazing insane fascist talking points and themes, but 95% of the film watching populace don't get it. That's not me being elitist, my fav film critic Roger Ebert straight up didn't get it. If the people you're making fun of straight up don't understand why they're being made fun of, it isn't working.
