It's about a green capitalist who works with the CIA and a treasonous general to overthrow the left wing government of Bolivia in exchange for access to resources. It's fucking crazy. As a bonus, they even mention that the general's whole goal is to keep the gov't from raising the minimum wage to $1.

Naturally, at the end the bad actors in the CIA get fired and everything is put right... But God damn, up until that nonsense it's an incredibly perceptive film

      MI6 doesn't care either way. They fire him for killing some bad guy who was connected and he has to go rogue. He does it to save a hot lady not because he gives a shit - which makes sense as a motivation for an indoctrinated psychopath to suddenly be on the right side of things. I'm telling you, ideology-wise it's pretty good up until the last scene (tbf tho in real life they'd be completely on board with the plan and probably ice James Bond. The CIA tries to).

      Action scenes are bad though. No sense of space, shaky cam is WAY overused, too many cuts and physics cheats so bond wins
