ナチ・ハンターズ

I'm not going to say anything about the history here. I work with that and for the most part I don't care, and this seemed like it wanted to be a Tarantino flick and we all know how he treats history. So I came into it with the assumption that the history was going to be hysterically wrong... and I wasn't disappointed here. But I am also a huge Pacino fan, and I am a huge Tarantino fan and I was super excited about this because it looked like a fun Tarantino knock off. That is kind of how it bills itself. But the honest fact is, Hunters is just all over the place. I think it seriously wanted to be in a Tarantino vein, but like "2 Days in the Valley" it doesn't exactly understand how to Tarantino makes it work. It doesn't know how to be funny and violent without being all over the place. It doesn't really know how to make the characters and plots intersect on more than the most base of levels, it doesn't know how to make the violence fun and amusing, and that makes all the other humor fall short and feel out of place. And then it does the Peele political thing, and I was really hoping that it wouldn't given the vibe it was going for in the advertisements... but it did, so on top of being all over the place, if you are white you are a Nazi and evil. And, honestly, I am tired of that and pretty sure that once this woke nonsense ends and it no longer becomes hip to be openly bigoted, like the rest of his films it's going to be seen as racist.
