About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, darkly funny true-story drama that questions public narratives and media frenzy, in the vein of The Big Short or Thank You for Smoking; Not for you if abuse themes or uneasy humor bother you.
Pros: darkly funny energy; strong performances; fresh interview-style storytelling | Cons: tone can feel jarring; violence played for laughs; some distracting choices
