Well, Bret Easton Elllis (AP) is the best writer ever and basically all the dialogue is taken from the book. I do think a lot of people hold Bateman up as a hero which is not the intent of the author.
I would put Green Inferno in the same league as Salo. I would say where American Pyscho differs is that is it a satire but also a black comedy--- it is fucking hilarious. It it fucking funny. In Salo, you can't make the nazis likeable and sympathetic.
The hipster? Who was that, Matthew Fox? Dapper, uppity gentleman? Didn't bother me and seemed more legitimately Western than Jason Priestley and Billy Zane in Tombstone.
"Roth attempts to toe the line between preachy and satirical, but The Green Inferno is all about deaths, and each character’s reaction to the carnivorous, unfiltered horrors before them."
I honestly don't remember distinct reactions, other than one guy plotting to sacrifice the others, while the remainder cried and looked to escape if opportunity availed itself. It seemed like one asshole and five or however many interchangeable well-meaning victims. I would give the film more credit as satire with a message than I would as creating distinct characters and character reactions.
But again, I liked the final girl until the very end when she lies. It is a message movie and a message I agree with and without it green inferno is just torture porn which is boring.
"keeping silent about those horrors because she was a SJW " - her behavior was such, ignoring the truth to push HER AGENDA/VIEWPOINT. we see this all the time now.
If not, then why lie and coverup for people who murdered her whole group???????????
Honestly, that's a reasonable interpretation for why she kept silent. It just didn't come across that way or any other way to me. It seemed directionless, like something Eli Roth threw in as a twist or something. Your interpretation makes sense; it just wasn't executed in a way that sold that to me.

The tumultuous present serves as the backdrop for this story, in which Bourne resumes his quest for answers about his past. Alicia Vikander plays a cyberspecialist and Tommy Lee Jones is an old-school CIA agent.

Bottom Line: Jason Bourne? More like Jason Bore-ne
Matt Damon returns to his most iconic movie role as Jason Bourne in the fifth installment of the Bourne series. The movie starts off with their best Rambo 3 impression with Bourne participating in some grubby underground fighting for money. The scene exists mostly to show off Damon's buffed physique. A visit from his past, Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles), brings Bourne back in his deadly cat-and-mouse game with the CIA.
Despite the post-Snowden political climate and glimpses of an austerity-riddled Europe, Jason Bourne treads on very familiar waters and recycles all the greatest hits from the previous Bourne movies, even a little bit of Bourne Legacy.
Examples of the recycled ideas: Bourne getting sucked into a situation not of his doing. Check. Bourne evading the CIA hit squad while a sniper makes a lethal shot. Check. Bourne snatching his target from a busy crowd while under the surveillance of the CIA. Check. Bourne receiving assistance from a sympathetic figure inside the CIA. Check. Bourne going after old geezer CIA big wig. Check. Bourne relentlessly hunted all over the world by top CIA assassin. Check.
Tommy Lee Jones takes over the role of the aged head CIA bad guy from previous titleholders Chris Cooper, Brian Cox, David Strathairn and Albert Finney. Scott Glenn should be receiving a call from the studio any moment now. Alicia Vikander's counterinsurgency expert Heather Lee is a mixture of Joan Allen and Julia Stiles characters. Both Jones and Vikander were respectable in their individual roles.
The story just doesn't hook viewers in immediately. The first hour passes by but there's a jarring disconnection to what's happening on screen, not to mention the uneasy feeling that you've seen most of this before. It isn't until the third act at Las Vegas that everything is more focused and things get more exciting.
By this point, I've noticed the film is filled with frantic walking. Jebus, so much frantic walking. This is a staple in Bourne movies but it wasn't as glaring in the past films since you're too absorbed with the story to really care.
The action scenes are okay but the fight scenes are very lacking, mostly consisting of Bourne one-punching his opponents to sleep. The Vegas car chase scene was nice. And prepare your Dramamine, the shaky cam is also back.
Though it's still solidly made and not blatantly bad, Jason Bourne just feels too familiar with nothing new and exciting to offer, recycling ideas from its past films. Not worth watching at the cinemas.
Preliminary Rating: 5.5/10 or 6/10
The reveal that Vincent Cassel's character, who has a vendetta against Bourne and is hunting him throughout the movie, was also responsible for killing Bourne's dad was too convenient and ridiculous for me. Same goes to Tommy Lee Jones' CIA head to some degree. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll reveal in the sequel that another CIA senior officer was responsible for killing Bourne's mother.
The silver lining to all of this is that the ending sets up future Bourne sequels that doesn't rely on the premise of the main character being hunted again by the CIA. If Bourne comes back to the program or works alongside the organization, new stories can be told with Bourne going up against new global threats.
Man it's getting to the point where nothing appeals to me week after week at the theaters, usually just end up watching classics at home when I get the urge to watch a film.

particularly lackluster summer in my opinion. Though I loved Civil War (way back at the start of the summer movie season) and thought that Finding Dory was quite good.

Zootopia was hilarious and plotted well. I like how animated films these days seek to appeal to the adults almost as much as to their children. Pretty staggering how much money that film made as well.
He and Timberlake were awesome in their scenes together in that movie. Pretty heartbreaking scene when Mazursky realizes Hatosy and Timberlake brought him out there to kill him.
