Completely astonishing. It’s hard to comprehend something like this exists. It encompasses everything about patriotism, ideology and love, it’s hilarious and devastating and insane in its surrealism.

It feels like more than a film. It’s the story of a country and its death. It’s a celebration of its life in the most intoxicating, colorful way. It’s the love, the spirit, the compromise, the disillusionment that held it together. Until it was gone.

Legendary Lithgow, accents and all. I don't know that this one has a purpose, much of the time it's kinda hilarious. And entirely effective, as with every piece of pulpy bullshit De Palma makes. Don't ask him to elevate it emotionally, but visually? An unassailable king. Similarly to Dressed to Kill, it gets a full rating bump simply due to the miraculous power of the climactic sequence, has you grinning with excitement and jawdropped at the technical mastery. Also one of the best final shots ever.

Fairly nuanced and regretful even as these assholes are pitched as cool heroes – destructive slow-mo action, cuts to coroner's cloths and funerals upon funerals... blood spilled by blood brothers. A little bland though, none of the characters end up standing out.

Wingard went and made a 100-minute franchise movie that also acts as a video game. Fantastic superficial pleasure. I love how gonzo this is, start to finish – Kong's hilarious needle drops, Rebecca Hall's dialogue, some sort of Chris Nolan's The Goonies subplot, technobabble, unsupervised children everywhere. And those neons!
