Review of Assassination Nation (2018) by Kevin D — 22 Sep 2018
Hello Sigmund Freud (Assassination Nation Review).
Assassination Nation is a candy apple dripping out of a bucket full of Freudian theory sprinkled with the Salem Witch Trials. The film definitely feels like it is attempting to philosophize and reminisce in the cadence of Lions for Lambs, Pulp Fiction, Carrie, Requiem for a Dream, Nerve, and is sending a lot of contradictory messages that work well if the film is attempting to depict the confusion Generation Z might seemingly be drowning in as the result of prior generations in a technologically fraught age. .
I'm not crazy about the cinematography and film editing. Did someone use the unlimited ammo cheat code? I feel like the film is attempting to do a lot. I rather re-watch the UK version of Skins than ever re-watch Assassination Nation (that show is good?-?and touches on topics in a sensible manner?-?and feels like an inspiration to this film). .
Overall Grade: C-.
