Beware: dont be fooled by the trailer, because this is NOT a thrilling action movie, because the action scenes are quite lame and not thrilling at all. What is it then? It's a (artsy fartsy looking) moralistic story about the press (Kirsten Dunst) being "the white knight on a horse", defending democracy, in a time when the Amercian president (big hint at Tr*mp) refuses to leave the White House.
The bad: what's really laughable (and I mean REALLY laughable) is that we get to see FOTO journalists, who are directly in the line of fire ALL the time, BUT they never get hit! Neverrr! What miracle! Only at the very end, (for "dramatic" effect), 2 of these FOTO journalists AND the president get shot and that's the end of this entire lame movie as well.
The story in it's entirety is quite tedious actually. And repetitive. We get to see Kirsten Dunst as a FOTO journalist travelling by car with some other FOTO journalists from New York to Washington DC (about 800 miles). They travel. They travel some more. They shoot many (MANY) pictures with their FOTOcameras of soldiers fighting (mediocre CGI effects). And then they travel some more...NO real thrill. NO suspense. NO real drama. NO surprises. It just toddles along...
Not any good then? It's not a B-movie. They put money into this! It's photographed as if it were a slick commercial, with lovely fuzzy lighting techniques of nature and humans caring about each other, with serene, soothing music in the background. We get to see FOTO journalists CARE about America. We get to see democracy being defended and WIN in the end. And we get to see an evil president being shot. Justice prevails! If you are into that, be my guest and have a go at watching it!
