“To be honest, I wasnât expecting much from this flick but, since I had it been in my queue for years, I thought I might finally watch it after all. Well, unfortunately, as I expected, it turned out to be really terrible though. In fact, I think that this movie actually had some potential and ther” read more
Note: Unfortunately, as I expected, it turned out to be really terrible. In fact, I think that this movie actually had some potential and there was also a solid cast of famous Dutch actors playing plenty of small characters. Sure, I wasnât a big fan of the comedic approach, I think something darker and more serious would have been more interesting but something funny could have actually worked as well. Furthermore, Yes-R and Turk were not bad. Unfortunately, most of the jokes were just so pathetic though. The other thing that really bothered me was how completely random and disjointed the damned thing was. The best (or worst) example was when, towards the end, they went fetching some African Voodoo doctor at the airport. Indeed, if their gang killed someone, the victim was allowed to choose a clergyman of his religion which was supposed to be hilarious (obviously, it was not the case). The joke went even further though. Indeed, somehow, they managed to have him dying at an artificial ski slope (of all places?!?!), they then replaced him with some random black dude that they found. Not only this Voodoo doctor character was quite offensive (like most of the jokes in this movie) but, to make things worse, they didnât even wait for him to proceed with this execution making the whole extended joke even more pointless than it already was. In fact, towards the end, it seemed that the makers cared even less than before and the end-result was just a total mess. 
Notes: Eventually, how is it possible that this specific guy did not only become president once but even twice? But I think thatâs what really worked in this movie. Indeed, they displayed really well that, in our capitalistic self-centered society, even if we pretend it, it actually doesnât matter if you are a good person or even only mildly competent and average, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that you have to be a ruthless killer, no matter your field. I think itâs also interesting how some Trump critics argue that the guy is even bad in business because he got bankrupt many times but I think itâs actually rather delusional. Itâs like saying that Adolf Hitler was the worst politician ever, he obviously did some horrible things but, as a politician, he was actually really good (it doesnât mean I cared for him or his ideology though). With Trump, itâs a similar thing and, no matter what you can say, the guy was (and apparently still is) incredibly successful. Was this success really worth it after all? Thatâs a completely different story and it was also very well displayed in this movie. However, once again, in our society, nobody cares about such things at all or, at least, I should say the majority doesnât care at all (not only in the US but in the whole freaking world, by the way). Finally, I would have a hard time to choose between Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong who gave the best performance as they were both pretty pitch-perfect here.

“Itâs so funny, I realized it only later on, but I actually bought my ticket for this movie exactly on 05/11/2024. Thatâs right, I actually bought it on the actually US election day and, later on that very same day, Donald Trump became the 47th president of the United States. I know, it is f*ckin” read more
