Review of Bastille Day (2016) by Ucbwill — 26 Jun 2016

I really wanted to love this film. Unfortunately, it fell extremely short of any goal. The scenes were scattered without logical or cinematographical cohesion; It was put together in a sort of quickly-built Frankenstein of a movie that everyone hoped would miraculously spring into some kind of life.

But it never did. The acting was far less impressive. I place more blame on the casting crew than on the actors themselves - they did try. Where was the mystery? the suspense? The anticipation? the call to arms across the screen into the hearts of the audience?!? Everything that I loved about the first was completely absent in the sequel.

And what the f*#k is up with the obsession with diversity?? Suddenly I see why people oppose affirmative action. Whatever. I'm mad. I want my $15 back.
