Assassin Nation - I just realized that the whole concept of this movie was the entire 20th season of south park. Kind of pisses me off. An accurate way to show how people would react if everyone's lies got unveiled all at once. It's absolutely exaggerated, and people wouldn't go on the killing sprees like this, but it does display how the whole world would overreact and be unable to trust anyone. As much as all of that was good, the movie in general, and especially the beginning wasn't put together too well. It was a weird edit with diatribes of voice over that eventually just end up preaching. The movie preached a lot, and it was distracting until it became annoying. I don't know if I'd see it again but whatever. 5.5/10
The Sisters Brothers - A memorable relationship between John C. Riley and Joaquin Phoenix, including Jake Gyllenhaal's character, he was fantastic. This film wasn't every "we're on the run" or "we're on hunt" western you've ever seen. Theres more to it than that. It has all the common western tropes, but the decisions made are very realistic which include grim ends and surprisingly happy ones as well. A lot of westerns have the environment to carry the stories where the characters are just a part of this world and have to adapt(most recently: Hostiles), and other westerns are about heroes who change their environment to suit better for them (True Grit, Butch Cassidy). This was more of the latter. The Sisters Brother are in a constant struggle over who's in control of their future, all the while trying to forge their own future behind the people who are controlling them's back. All of the outcomes in this movie were never planned, which I loved, because most expeditions in life are never planned, and you're usually going down a different road until you find a new one and move onto that. Really it was a fun/sad movie that western lovers should check out. Also, the trailer plays this to be some sort of hybrid western and comedy, but it's not a comedy what-so-ever. 8/10
