      TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL! But tbh - we're gonna have to clean up first. You can't believe how dusty it is down there.

    Did some corporate committee somewhere make a big "brainstorm" list on a whiteboard and then come up with a plot that included as many brotastic bro concepts in one movie? blob-sleep

        There's probably a cop who crossed the line, a veteran with a haunted past, and/or a career criminal that thought he was out until he was called in one last time... blob-sleep

          There's probably a cop who crossed the line

          Knowing Hollywood, the “crossed the line” is probably that all the woke SJW new training made the cop hesitate to shoot a black teenager, who takes advantage of his weakness to detonate a nuke that kills a hundred gazillion people.

          These are the same suits that greenlighted a movie whose explicit message is that brown people in the Middle East need to be massacred

            "Dirty Harry" did that shit roughly half a century ago, too.

                Don't even get me started on "Death Wish." It was the Gambo of its time and hogs oinked at it accordingly.

                  I swear the Death Wish trope gets beaten more to death about every other month, and it’s 100% responsible for motivating the murder of minorities by self-appointed vigilantes - angry white men who’ve been wishing for so long for some brown people to come SA and murder their family so they could kill some minorities that they just murder a black guy using their driveway to turn around.

                    "Taken" was just a vaguely higher brow modernized Death Wish, and it was amazing chud propaganda.

      Also - there's another problem. I actually watched a few seconds here or there of the trailer. It's surely Bait-and-Switch Phillips. I bet Lou Diamond Phillips is on screen for 90 seconds tops.

          Geezer teaser

          "Geezer teaser" is a pejorative term used to describe films, most often action films released direct-to-video and primarily distributed via video on demand (VOD), for which older, well-known male actors ("geezers") are billed in lead or co-lead roles and prominently featured (teased) in promotional material, but only appear sporadically during the film itself.

          Shine on you teaser diamond

          I had to squash "geezer teaser" down to two syllables so the lyric would scan right.
