Review of The Bad Batch (2017) by D H — 19 Apr 2018

A great new flick from a great new director, Bad Batch is full of hidden sociological quirks that make me want to watch everything that Miss Amirpour brings us in the future. Mr. Mamoa is truly amazing and for a guy like him to take on a role like this shows he's got what it takes not just to be the next great American action star but also a quality actor.

For Keanu to play a sex ghoul obsessed with making babies, and Jim Carrey to play a mute shopping cart man, shows this film isn't really about a dystopian society where cannibals live on one side of a prison desert and a drug cult run by a sex fiend lives on the other.

This film is about people being what they fear most, but society gears them where it wants them. You'd have to know about Mr. Reeves and Mr. Carrey's own personal trials and tribulations to know what that means, and not knowing these things you may misjudge the characterizations in the film to be a result of bad directing; which it is not.

It shows Miss Amirpour to be a genius, and the actors to be daring and truly on their way to magnificence by facing their greatest fears and worst experiences. Actors are people, too, after all. The soundtrack keeps me coming back for more views, and I've already watched this film over a dozen times.

Suki is great, and I hope she rises to be a great actress. Even if it costs her an arm and a leg.
