I watched this in my pre-woke period and surprisingly, it's one of the few examples of the satire NOT being missed on me. Like I just saw a grumpy divorced boomer bumbling around LA and being a dick. Sometimes to people who kinda deserved it but often just to random people. He doesn't do anything badass he actually gets owned several times, and the movie ends with him dying rather pathetically, getting shot by a guy who just owned him in a debate about ethics.
I think there's a reason your usual reddit edgelord doesn't cite this film as an inspiration unlike Fight Club.
At least he kills a Nazi, so critical support?
Yeah but he only did that cuz he was disgusted by the fact the Nazi thought he was "one of them", which is itself and indictment of his character. As I recall that's the only person he kills but he nearly kills several other people, most of whom were just innocent service workers and whatnot.
He does kill a golfing dentist
Yeah but it was an entitled golfing boomer so
It is refreshing to see stochastic violence used correctly
Liberals shock when a fascist recongises they are on the same team lmao
