Inside Game (2019)
Cool Premise, Awful Execution
I heard Will Sasso talking about this on a podcast; I was familiar with the story and thought I'd check out this interesting-sounding film adaptation.
Yikes.
This is a junior college film project. Low budget, comic actors + low rent Tim & Eric level actors, bizarrely forced profanity, trope after trope after trope, emotionally arbitrary, you can see plot turns coming a MILE away, you can even see the guys wearing makeup in some scenes.
Just. Bad. Glad I rented and did not buy.
McLibel (2005)
Shameless...
"It is about the importance of freedom of speech now that 'MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS' (BOM-BOM-BOM!) are more powerful than countries." What a shameless attempt to turn pseudo-convictions into dollars (or pounds, in this case).
It seems painfully clear that the release of this documentary is a nauseating attempt to ride on the coat tails of Super Size Me. I know it culminated in 1997 or so, but that just makes its 2005 release all the more transparent for what it really is: Shameless.
The types of people who enjoy these types of films are so jaded toward "THE CORPORATIONS," that monolithic, hell spun entity, because they're so successful. What it comes down to is pure, unadulterated jealousy. Yet ironically, those same champions of egalitarianism; the self-styled "Davids" of David and Goliath lore, are pretty quick to engage in practices which might help to line their pockets, as evidenced by this film's shamelessly belated release. Steer clear of this sore loser propaganda.
