I remember a review of _Run Hide Fight_ that said something like "its politics are deplorable but at least its authentic. Resently B-movie directors are playing too safe, as if they're the next James Gunn and are only one low-budget horror movie away from directing blockbusters for the MCU" ... I don't feel that kind of authenticity in this trailer
@@Mario_Angel_Medina Run Hide Fight is a low quality film but it's a Micheal Man level thriller compared to this. I bet he thought that moving match cut with the overly floaty steadicam at 2:43 would look so "cool."
Yeah, Steven Seagul might be an actor of questionable talent, but at least he's recognisable. This seems as one of those movies where you struggle to remember the characters because of how bland everyone is.
Isn't it kind of ironic that Critical Drinker is known for criticizing modern movies, especially modern main stream movies, yet the movie he worked on looks extremely generic, and which doesn't seem to offer anything that would make it stand out from any other modern action movie out there?
its almost as if hes not actually a movie critic, and doesnt actually understand what makes a movie good, and is just in the business of pushing a disguised political agenda....
Well it's exactly the kind of movie he wants when he critiques other movies. Only white people, mostly white men, "Not political", not engaging. It's pretty much exactly the kind of movie you would expect him to make based off his criticism of other movies.
That's kind of his entire thing though. If you had a drinking game everytime he repeats the same talking generic chud talking points you'd be as drunk as whoever writes his scripts.
I know the answer already, but why does every "anti-woke Hollywood" person feel compelled to make a completely unremarkable 80s-90s action movie? Like, it really *really* undermines all their arguments about how diversity concerns are replacing creativity.
@@Melvinshermen - Yeah, it feels less like a stylistic choice and more like someone who just doesn't have the imagination not to recycle a bunch of lame tropes, tbh.
Because this movie isn’t about being anti woke, it’s about putting his book on the silver screen, he’s wanted this long before he became popular for going against The Message
If this is based off of his book, then he's a massive hypocrite. For all the sh*tting he does on "strong female characters", his book's FMC is exactly that stereotype in spades.
That‘s not what his point was, christ. The guy mostly said he doesn‘t see a point in adding to the pile of reviews for that movie and would rather talk about how shitty the studio system is right now. Not that the movie is good.
I like that they included a man beating up a woman in a fight in the trailer in order to show that this movie isn’t woke and unrealistic because internet conservatives are really passionate about women being physically incapable of beating men in a fight in real life
19:13 It seems like he made the exact movie that he would want to see, basically." I think that's it - the problem is that The Critical Drinker wants to see bland action movies.
I think the issue that jordan has that he doesn't realize yet, he has established his channel and his brand on the premise of basically complaining about the current state of hollywood movies, progressivism, feminism, lgbt and whatever else associated with those ideals represented in media. because of this, he has garnered a massive audience that thinks similarly to him when he talks about these topics in his videos. the topics he addresses has essentially become his brand, his audience loves that he touches on this, in fact they love it so much that they recognize him just for that. and of course, his channel suffers greatly because of it. as we've seen in this trailer, it has become apparent that his audience doesn't care all that much when he talks about things he likes, like reacher, or other content he enjoys. they just want to watch him shit on movies that tackle progressive topics and represent communities that appear different from him and people like him. they very much want to watch those videos because in a sense, it validates them. and they especially don't care very much about this film he set out to make. and it doesn't help that the trailer feels like something we've seen countless times before, even back in the 00s. (even his audience have acknowledged this.) fan or hater, it doesn't matter. if people criticize the trailer just on what it provides, and how it comes across even before the film comes out, then jordan, honey... you already have a problem. not just with this film, but with the fact that you intend to branch out a bit more with your channel. branching out from what you essentially became known for. But one positive thing I will say, he does feel passionate about the film he has set out to make and I can respect that he does have the motivation, the means and a budget to even get his film made. so kudos to him.
The Terminal List was a cliché show and people loved it because of that. They wanted a 2000s style action flick. I'm not saying this trailer is great by any means, but you can tell people have a peofessive b0ner when they comment because their argument devolves to "for someone who likes to hammer intersectionality in movies this sire is tropey". Yes, it is, and no one claims differently. The assumption that people won't like this movie because its tropey is inaccurate, when many people want that.
I’m not surprised by the comments. Critic to creative is a slippery slope. You spent years critiquing films building up an audience of loyal sh*t talking nit pickers. Only to make something generic and flat. People who attempt film making find out it’s very hard, expensive, and collaborative. But you could be right could just be his hater’s in the comments.
@@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollowit’s not though, he wrote this book years ago, before the message was even taking over Hollywood, so how is making the book a movie part of the culture war, it’s not, you just don’t like the guy because you disagree with him
Yup, you can easily predict what he’s going to say on just about anything, and others that share his views as they all basically think the exact same about everything.
I clicked on one of his videos by accident a little while back and as soon as I heard his voice I was like "oh, he's about to spew a bunch of nonsense isn't he" and immediately clicked off.
I enjoyed him at first and then he just would not stop bitching about EVERYTHING and wouldn’t give anything the benefit of the doubt or it would devolve into 80’s movies good and modern movies with the same themes bad
You’ve got to be kidding. Have you not watched space ice roasting seagal movies? There’s no way any movie in the world can be worse than a seagal money laundering movie.
Can't wait for EFAAP to either pretend this doesn't exist or skirt around it while pretending to defend it to dodge having to criticize someone that's so ingrained into their group.
It’s not impossible for them to criticize someone close to their group, given what happened with Southpaw. The question is whether or not they will do it with integrity.
@@AydenMartinez-iv3jt Considering how defensive they have been of Drinker and how he, unlike Southpaw, has not actively tried to make an enemy out of them, I don't think they will say anything on thr matter unless forced too because 1. If they truly view him as their friend, I can understand not wanting to tell your friend what they made was stinky on a live stream. Not even unfair of them there. 2. Drinker very rarely pushes back on them. There are only a couple exceptions, and even then it still feels like he is holding back what he thinks a lot. He seems to not want to risk hurting that connection Honestly, I don't even know if Drinker is actually that into conservative politics as much as he is into how much money it gets him. He also does seem to inject just enough nuance for him to point to as a back up defense (such as now he specifies that having a woman beat a man is not in of itself bad writing when he used to almost always imply that directly.)
@@AydenMartinez-iv3jtdo you watch EFAP??? Mauler critizes his friends all the time lol. Hes constantly calls them out for defending a shit piece of media like the Synder Cut or Intersteller, fights all the time with chat, and heck, most of his close friends and guests are people he formingly roasted like Wolf, Jay Exci, Star Wars Theory, etc
@ToriHiragana I think you responded to the wrong person. I never said Mauler nor EFAP avoid criticizing their friends. I even gave ann example with the Southpaw situation.
I used to like Critical Drinker, I thought he was really funny. I didn't really like the anti-woke angle, but I thought most of the time he was good enough at explaining himself that I thought he was being fair. But eventually more and more examples where I thought he was just off the mark kept cropping up and I quit watching. He was part of what made me come to the woke sounding conclusion that being mediocre or bad is a white privilege. If it's mediocre and not woke, nobody bats an eye. But if it's inclusive and mediocre, it's brain washing propoganda. As opposed to someone like Adam, who is good at seperating the factors. Something like, "This movie being inclusive isn't bad, but X, Y, and Z are bad about it."
Yeah. I liked when he actually was analyzing movies for what they were. But more and more he was just spewing "CRT, WOKE, LESBIAN, HOLLYWOOD PROPAGANDA". That was getting old really fast. Now he's just an unfunny drunktard cunt.
Yeah I liked Drinker in the start. Mostly because he reviewed The Expanse. One of my favorite TV shows ever that wasn't getting a lot of traction at the time. But lately he's becoming too much. He rarely offers real criticism and just goes on and on about movies bieng woke. Like just recently saw his review of Roadhouse. Now everyone's shitting in Riad House. He can too. But in the review he constantly refers to the girl who owns the Bar as "Brave Diverse Woman". Like he's making a point. He doesn't offer any other criticism. Because in reality there is nothing to criticise about that character because she never overshadows Jake Gyllenhal like some other female characters do in other movies. And yet he makes a point to constantly refer to her as "Brave Diverse Woman" as if that's a criticism.
I think a lot of these people initially find some success by being passably funny and genuine, but when they realize they can make easier money milking idiot reactionary opinions by just ranting about how woke everything is they stop even trying to be honest or insightful and lose all entertainment value for anyone who isn't just there to reassure themselves of the things they already believe.
The reason his trailer isn't getting clicks is because his audience doesn't care about anything but having their own opinions reaffirmed. They're there for the outrage bait. They don't actually care about the quality of films or viewing the type of content they purport to enjoy
It’s kind of sad, really. Drinker’s audience isn’t movie lovers or enthusiasts that care about his craft, but a cesspool of young insecure men who spend a little too much time on the internet. I don’t think CD is aware that nobody cares about what he puts out into the world, only what he tears down to please the alt-right echo chamber.
You know what? Good for Critical Drinker. Unlike most of these "anti-woke" grifters he actually stepped into the arena instead of just complaining on the Internet all day for easy views. Movie will probably be shit, but i appreciate the effort to actually make something.
@@TempestKnight16 MauLer probably has the most potential to make something decent out of all of the griftersphere tbh, his tendency to hyperfixate on irrelevant details could be the fuel for interesting worldbuilding

Many years ago my sister bought an action figure called "The Best Terrorist" which she found at a dollar store because she found all the misspellings on the box amusing.
@@NotoriousLightning no I will shame them Being poor is no excuse for lowering your standards If you can’t buy Tom Clancy than get something of equal value but at a lower price, going generic just shows a lack of self respect
I hate that with the way the world works, if you have the massive amounts of confidence to just say stupid shit all the time eventually someone equally stupid will give you an opportunity to do more stupid stuff.
I can't even tell who the main character of this movie is supposed to be. There's a bunch of generic "badass military dudes," and they all kind of somehow look the same, yet just different enough that I don't know if they're the same guy or a different guy.
"Parker got an intel on Smith, were going to bravo point. Charlies at four, our cover is blown. Go go go rookies, anderson knows were here". Entire thing is a jibberish. Say what you want about RLM movies, but they always start their stuff with some sort of a hook and have clear premise. Plinket review got influentce on star wars because it starts with "Worst thing since my son" and not a bored ramble of some guy. They know how to effectively engage the audience. All those other star war critic guys feel entitled to audience smelling 5 hours of their mic farts.
This is like one of those fake movies that would play at the beginning of Tropic Thunder, I know that's said about alot of bad movies but it really does
10:32 This was based on Critical Drinker’s novels and he made a spinoff feature movie about this Downfall character. Looks like he made it for this dark and very yellowish action-packed movie that almost felt like Resident Evil and other hardcore action genres that he's interested in. I really hate how Drinker didn't want the subtitles in the expensive 4K trailer. He probably hated deaf people and not making less deaf or deaf to be disabled.
as a sound editor id maybe reconsider putting pumped up action trailer music over a bunch of half-whispered lines with audible crickets in the background that even cut out momentarily during the dramatic pauses
Yeah, as ugly as the color palette is, and as generic as all the dialogue and characters seem to be, my main criticism of this is that it has "county out" levels of poor ADR that probably needed to be totally re-recorded.
@@TerrenceNowicki oh yea the adr is pretty atrocious as well, at times it very obviously doesn't match the lip movement (to my eyes at least). im specifically criticizing just the trailer tho, we don't know for sure if it's going to be like that in the actual movie or not and by the time it's released there is a (very small) chance that it will be recorded to both sound better AND match the lip movement better. the issue with the trailer, whether they've used adr or the actual on-location recordings, is that the mix is shit - the music is too over the top and the voice lines are too quiet and that's really not helped by the fact that a lot of them are either half-whispered or recorded with subpar equipment or even maybe messed up somehow during the post-production process. re-recording could have helped but if they lines are still delivered in the same quiet way (which id like to believe is perfectly adequate for the actual scenes those lines are taken from) it wouldn't help much with all the bombastic music they're drenched in. a few of the lines do sound like they were recorded on location because there's audible crickets in the background which means that either there's been no noise reduction done to those lines (and presumably the rest of the voice recordings in the trailer or even possibly the actual movie) or there has been noise reduction and this is the best they got it to sound because the crickets were just that overwhelming. there is also at least one instance in the trailer where a pause between lines was extended in the trailer by just cutting the last sentence from a line and moving it a second or two down the editing timeline without accounting for the background audio so the crickets just abruptly stop before starting again for that final line. it sounds pretty shoddy (tho honestly ive seen trailers where recordings from an obviously noisy scene like this have been used just as haphazardly so it's kind of a wider issue with trailers nowadays). there's also just not a lot of distinct sound effects throughout the trailer that aren't voice lines, music and trailer-style impact hits and stuff (tho admittedly it's not as overbearing as some trailers ive seen (maybe if i watched the trailer by itself and didn't have adum pausing it every few seconds it'd annoy me more lol)). a lot of the action scenes almost completely lack audio, occasionally there are a few sounds here and there but they're so sporadic that they kinda stick out and draw attention to the scenes where you'd expect there to be sounds but there aren't any. the final montage of violence in the trailer has 2-3 sounds at the start before they just stop despite the fact that there's still plenty of cuts of characters hitting other characters or falling on the floor, things that should be emphasized more with audio. it comes off as unfinished
It looks like the most generic 2000s action movie, indistinguishable from the hundreds of other action movies that play on day time cable television ad nauseam.
I think it's a Arriflex camera and I should know because I handled them and the Aaton cameras in my broadcasting program. My feeling is that he shouldn't be handling such cameras by himself.
3:20, This line is directly from Lethal Weapon, is not? I'm gonna confirm and come back, but I'm 98% sure they just ripped it off lol. I'm positive Mel Gibson says this exact line Edit - Critical Drinker ripped it off, word for word lmao
To start positive it's fairly good for a youtuber's first ever film. For negatives it's incredibly ironic to make a career off of how mediocre modern Hollywood is then proceed to make a sloppy cod film
Saying that modem Hollywood is mediocre is pretty generous. It's filled with absolute trash. If the worst that Hollywood had was generic or mediocre, I'd say they were doing pretty good
When I think of first time filmmakers, I imagine them going, “Oh, this is my one big shot to make a name for myself.” I think Reservoir Dogs, Clerks, Evil Dead. I know that’s way easier said than done. If I had a chance to make a movie and I had a small budget to do it with, I wouldn’t make a generic action movie that looks like the straight-to-DVD fare that filled the aisles of the Hollywood Video I used to work next door to in the late 2000s. I would try to make some wild stuff that people would remember. If I couldn’t make something as good as Reservoir Dogs or Clerks, I would try really hard to make something insane yet still coherent enough to understand. I’m not a big anime/manga guy, but one thing I always admired was their ability to think of wild stuff.
only like 20 seconds into the video but I gotta say "rogue elements" is the most generic action possibly spy thrillery thing film title I can think of Now after finishing the video, Ryan Drake = Jack Ryan + Nathan Drake?
That woman with black hair shows up on screen only to get thrown around or pinned down lmao (3 times in this trailer), this Drinker dude couldn't have made the message more clear.

So basically your typical Hollywood action movie, but with less personality. For an indie film, it feels so fake.

I remember a review of _Run Hide Fight_ that said something like "its politics are deplorable but at least its authentic.

That's kind of his entire thing though. If you had a drinking game everytime he repeats the same talking generic chud talking points you'd be as drunk as whoever writes his scripts.
I know the answer already, but why does every "anti-woke Hollywood" person feel compelled to make a completely unremarkable 80s-90s action movie? Like, it really *really* undermines all their arguments about how diversity concerns are replacing creativity.

I think the issue that jordan has that he doesn't realize yet, he has established his channel and his brand on the premise of basically complaining about the current state of hollywood movies, progressivism, feminism, lgbt and whatever else associated with those ideals represented in media.
because of this, he has garnered a massive audience that thinks similarly to him when he talks about these topics in his videos. the topics he addresses has essentially become his brand, his audience loves that he touches on this, in fact they love it so much that they recognize him just for that. and of course, his channel suffers greatly because of it.
as we've seen in this trailer, it has become apparent that his audience doesn't care all that much when he talks about things he likes, like reacher, or other content he enjoys. they just want to watch him shit on movies that tackle progressive topics and represent communities that appear different from him and people like him. they very much want to watch those videos because in a sense, it validates them.
and they especially don't care very much about this film he set out to make. and it doesn't help that the trailer feels like something we've seen countless times before, even back in the 00s. (even his audience have acknowledged this.) fan or hater, it doesn't matter. if people criticize the trailer just on what it provides, and how it comes across even before the film comes out, then jordan, honey... you already have a problem. not just with this film, but with the fact that you intend to branch out a bit more with your channel. branching out from what you essentially became known for.
But one positive thing I will say, he does feel passionate about the film he has set out to make and I can respect that he does have the motivation, the means and a budget to even get his film made. so kudos to him.
The Terminal List was a cliché show and people loved it because of that. They wanted a 2000s style action flick. I'm not saying this trailer is great by any means, but you can tell people have a peofessive b0ner when they comment because their argument devolves to "for someone who likes to hammer intersectionality in movies this sire is tropey". Yes, it is, and no one claims differently. The assumption that people won't like this movie because its tropey is inaccurate, when many people want that.
I’m not surprised by the comments. Critic to creative is a slippery slope. You spent years critiquing films building up an audience of loyal sh*t talking nit pickers. Only to make something generic and flat. People who attempt film making find out it’s very hard, expensive, and collaborative. But you could be right could just be his hater’s in the comments.
With someone like the drinker, it’s more about culture war than it is movies or creativity

@MetastaticMaladies But remember, they're the free thinkers, while everyone else are the mindless drones of a hivemind. 🙄

I enjoyed him at first and then he just would not stop bitching about EVERYTHING and wouldn’t give anything the benefit of the doubt or it would devolve into 80’s movies good and modern movies with the same themes bad

Can't wait for EFAAP to either pretend this doesn't exist or skirt around it while pretending to defend it to dodge having to criticize someone that's so ingrained into their group.
It’s not impossible for them to criticize someone close to their group, given what happened with Southpaw. The question is whether or not they will do it with integrity.
@@AydenMartinez-iv3jt Considering how defensive they have been of Drinker and how he, unlike Southpaw, has not actively tried to make an enemy out of them, I don't think they will say anything on thr matter unless forced too because
1. If they truly view him as their friend, I can understand not wanting to tell your friend what they made was stinky on a live stream. Not even unfair of them there.
2. Drinker very rarely pushes back on them. There are only a couple exceptions, and even then it still feels like he is holding back what he thinks a lot. He seems to not want to risk hurting that connection Honestly, I don't even know if Drinker is actually that into conservative politics as much as he is into how much money it gets him. He also does seem to inject just enough nuance for him to point to as a back up defense (such as now he specifies that having a woman beat a man is not in of itself bad writing when he used to almost always imply that directly.)

It's incredibly unlikely that Drinker could write a script on the level of the movies that get the unbridled treatment.
Don't give Crinkler THAT much credit. Being so shit to deserve the longman special is not easy. I doubt he can pull it off
I used to like Critical Drinker, I thought he was really funny. I didn't really like the anti-woke angle, but I thought most of the time he was good enough at explaining himself that I thought he was being fair. But eventually more and more examples where I thought he was just off the mark kept cropping up and I quit watching. He was part of what made me come to the woke sounding conclusion that being mediocre or bad is a white privilege. If it's mediocre and not woke, nobody bats an eye. But if it's inclusive and mediocre, it's brain washing propoganda.
As opposed to someone like Adam, who is good at seperating the factors. Something like, "This movie being inclusive isn't bad, but X, Y, and Z are bad about it."
He chased the algorithm and echo chamber likes over, you know...CRITICAL thinking
Yeah. I liked when he actually was analyzing movies for what they were. But more and more he was just spewing "CRT, WOKE, LESBIAN, HOLLYWOOD PROPAGANDA".
That was getting old really fast.
Now he's just an unfunny drunktard cunt.
Yeah I liked Drinker in the start. Mostly because he reviewed The Expanse. One of my favorite TV shows ever that wasn't getting a lot of traction at the time.
But lately he's becoming too much. He rarely offers real criticism and just goes on and on about movies bieng woke.
Like just recently saw his review of Roadhouse. Now everyone's shitting in Riad House. He can too.
But in the review he constantly refers to the girl who owns the Bar as "Brave Diverse Woman". Like he's making a point.
He doesn't offer any other criticism. Because in reality there is nothing to criticise about that character because she never overshadows Jake Gyllenhal like some other female characters do in other movies.
And yet he makes a point to constantly refer to her as "Brave Diverse Woman" as if that's a criticism.
I think a lot of these people initially find some success by being passably funny and genuine, but when they realize they can make easier money milking idiot reactionary opinions by just ranting about how woke everything is they stop even trying to be honest or insightful and lose all entertainment value for anyone who isn't just there to reassure themselves of the things they already believe.
Yeah, I liked Batwoman too. The reviews of that show were pretty terrible imo
The reason his trailer isn't getting clicks is because his audience doesn't care about anything but having their own opinions reaffirmed. They're there for the outrage bait. They don't actually care about the quality of films or viewing the type of content they purport to enjoy
Bleach people don’t care about movies or entertainment they just want to oppress and control what people think
It’s kind of sad, really. Drinker’s audience isn’t movie lovers or enthusiasts that care about his craft, but a cesspool of young insecure men who spend a little too much time on the internet. I don’t think CD is aware that nobody cares about what he puts out into the world, only what he tears down to please the alt-right echo chamber.
You know what? Good for Critical Drinker. Unlike most of these "anti-woke" grifters he actually stepped into the arena instead of just complaining on the Internet all day for easy views. Movie will probably be shit, but i appreciate the effort to actually make something.
You should see the trailer for Yaira. It's hilariously bad.

10:32 This was based on Critical Drinker’s novels and he made a spinoff feature movie about this Downfall character. Looks like he made it for this dark and very yellowish action-packed movie that almost felt like Resident Evil and other hardcore action genres that he's interested in.

He didn't want to include THE MESSAGE in his trailer.
Mission impossible Lotus
as a sound editor id maybe reconsider putting pumped up action trailer music over a bunch of half-whispered lines with audible crickets in the background that even cut out momentarily during the dramatic pauses
Yeah, as ugly as the color palette is, and as generic as all the dialogue and characters seem to be, my main criticism of this is that it has "county out" levels of poor ADR that probably needed to be totally re-recorded.
@@TerrenceNowicki oh yea the adr is pretty atrocious as well, at times it very obviously doesn't match the lip movement (to my eyes at least). im specifically criticizing just the trailer tho, we don't know for sure if it's going to be like that in the actual movie or not and by the time it's released there is a (very small) chance that it will be recorded to both sound better AND match the lip movement better.
the issue with the trailer, whether they've used adr or the actual on-location recordings, is that the mix is shit - the music is too over the top and the voice lines are too quiet and that's really not helped by the fact that a lot of them are either half-whispered or recorded with subpar equipment or even maybe messed up somehow during the post-production process. re-recording could have helped but if they lines are still delivered in the same quiet way (which id like to believe is perfectly adequate for the actual scenes those lines are taken from) it wouldn't help much with all the bombastic music they're drenched in.
a few of the lines do sound like they were recorded on location because there's audible crickets in the background which means that either there's been no noise reduction done to those lines (and presumably the rest of the voice recordings in the trailer or even possibly the actual movie) or there has been noise reduction and this is the best they got it to sound because the crickets were just that overwhelming. there is also at least one instance in the trailer where a pause between lines was extended in the trailer by just cutting the last sentence from a line and moving it a second or two down the editing timeline without accounting for the background audio so the crickets just abruptly stop before starting again for that final line. it sounds pretty shoddy (tho honestly ive seen trailers where recordings from an obviously noisy scene like this have been used just as haphazardly so it's kind of a wider issue with trailers nowadays).
there's also just not a lot of distinct sound effects throughout the trailer that aren't voice lines, music and trailer-style impact hits and stuff (tho admittedly it's not as overbearing as some trailers ive seen (maybe if i watched the trailer by itself and didn't have adum pausing it every few seconds it'd annoy me more lol)). a lot of the action scenes almost completely lack audio, occasionally there are a few sounds here and there but they're so sporadic that they kinda stick out and draw attention to the scenes where you'd expect there to be sounds but there aren't any. the final montage of violence in the trailer has 2-3 sounds at the start before they just stop despite the fact that there's still plenty of cuts of characters hitting other characters or falling on the floor, things that should be emphasized more with audio. it comes off as unfinished
It looks like the most generic 2000s action movie, indistinguishable from the hundreds of other action movies that play on day time cable television ad nauseam.
Almost everyone sounds drunk or high while they say their line it looks like a film steven segal would "star" in

Yes, I'm still wondering what shelby oaks is going to be like 🤔 I know chris stuckman wont even critique certain movies now. 😕
@@cobrakaicyberdon Well, it's been rejected by multiple film festival apparently.
When I think of first time filmmakers, I imagine them going, “Oh, this is my one big shot to make a name for myself.” I think Reservoir Dogs, Clerks, Evil Dead. I know that’s way easier said than done. If I had a chance to make a movie and I had a small budget to do it with, I wouldn’t make a generic action movie that looks like the straight-to-DVD fare that filled the aisles of the Hollywood Video I used to work next door to in the late 2000s.
I would try to make some wild stuff that people would remember. If I couldn’t make something as good as Reservoir Dogs or Clerks, I would try really hard to make something insane yet still coherent enough to understand. I’m not a big anime/manga guy, but one thing I always admired was their ability to think of wild stuff.

It looks like if AI made a movie
Artifical Intelligence creating an artificial movie.
only like 20 seconds into the video but I gotta say "rogue elements" is the most generic action possibly spy thrillery thing film title I can think of
Now after finishing the video, Ryan Drake = Jack Ryan + Nathan Drake?

Critical Drinker having his Threat Level Midnight moment
I doubt it. TLM was a "so bad, it's good" film, both in-universe and irl. This will be forgotten.
Imagine if this money was spent on someone with actual talent like Neil Breen.
Generic straight-to-video action movie but make it yellow
That woman with black hair shows up on screen only to get thrown around or pinned down lmao (3 times in this trailer), this Drinker dude couldn't have made the message more clear.
