This is worse agit prop than the old reviews in the Daily Worker, heck even the Nation, at it’s mid thirties worst wasn’t as doctrinaire as this review.
In fact this is worse than that, this is like saying “Flying Leathernecks” and “They Were Expendable” are defeatist. I bet you hate Dirty Harry movies because they are soft on crime and humanize criminals, do you think that the “Manchurian Candidate” is unnacceptacble because it criticizes HUAC?
The enemy, was righteously blown away without any compunction, the US military were concientious heroic and valued innocent life as a matter of course,
(WARNING SPOILERS)
heck SHIELD was the epitome of righteous super competent bad ass and it was part of the Department of Homeland Security, even I am not that rah rah. So you are whining that the real villain was an American, but really in the movies universe only an American could be a proper rival, and he was a very clear traitor who funded a jihadi organiztion to take over the world and attack the US government. It has Nick Fury already leading SHIELD for pete’s sake.
(END SPOILERS)
and you are complaining the movie isn’t pro american enough, so there is a little concern about weapons going to bad guys, I bet you also hate Casablanca because our loyal ally Louis is corrupt, or how could Rick Blaine, an American, have a loaded roulette wheel, heck it just ain’t clean cut enough for you.
