Warning: Spoilers
We live in the day & age of unpredictable gun violence in RL and along comes this movie and blatantly promotes, or glorifies, killing in an aloof-nonchalant manner passing it off like it accidentally happens and means nothing in a cold calculating way. Could you be any more obvious, or oblivious, filming yourself while opening a fridge door and acting like a severed head means nothing to you in the background? Are you trying to be Patrick Bateman Joe Cool? There's a MAJOR contradiction at the end of this movie - the English killer and his camera man burst into the cinema gloating about the death of some congressman to some random dude who's sitting in a seat and the random dude states that someone just texted him about it 10 minutes ago then proceeds to shoot both killer and camera man while barking something about "have respect for movie goers and turn off ya phones" and the like. Well, if that guy received a text 10 minutes earlier didn't he disrespect the other movie goers in the cinema as well?
