My husband and I saw it twice. It sucked and we enjoy repeating some of the cringier lines to each other, but it was still refreshing to watch a movie that didn’t ridicule my worldview every chance it got.

Jon Voight has been in many great movies. Years ago.

As for his recent career, well...his involvement in this film was a bad sign. (He's also in Megalopolis, which I expect will also be a complete disaster but the kind of disaster which gains a massive cult following.)

And that’s the point isn’t it? To avoid the ridicule. Too often I get invested in a good TV show, then once the story has completed presenting all the content from the book on which it is based, the woke rewrite starts.

Characters suddenly become homosexual. Women get pregnant and can’t get an abortion. Trans characters pop up out of the blue. Black characters are harassed by the police. It gets tiresome.

Your criticism of the woke rubbish is valid. But unfortunately so is Page's point.
