This flawed Fight club meets Social Network meets John Wick comedy is somewhat marinated in woke mis andry nonse nse and propag anda, but if you are willing to look pass that it contains some nice touches. It starts of in a pedestrian way, but then has a brilliant turn in the middle, only to proselytize mi sandry towards the end, but the very end, when the little dog gets avenged and earns its rightful place near the old master, softens the idio tic woke prop aganda a little bit and allows for a more sensible interpretation. So the movie is a few punches short of great, but manages to be interesting. While it somewhat lacks open mind, it requires it in order to be enjoyed - too bad its agen da is a bit dir ty, and its originality is limited by narrow perspective and lack of a layer of self awareness that could have made it into a more intelligent piece. Still, worth a watch for some of the other elements that are enjoyably twisted.
