My take
A chase movie that felt like it was made in the 70s (probably because of the beautiful VistaVision) that centers around the capital L Left. I loved that aspect of it and am really surprised how much the left and establishment loves it becuase it's not particularly flattering to them. Alejandra and I were also kind of dissappointed that the girl makes the same dumb mistake her dad did at the end even after it all. That said, incredible acting.
