One particularly brutal review came from Nick Hilton, film critic for the Independent, who said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”
Hilton added that the film is so terrible that it fails even at being effective propaganda and is likely to be remembered as “a striking artifact… of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly.”
I think we can officially conclude 2026 is The Year Of The Scowling Void Of Pure Nothingness
It was just a 75mil payment from Amazon to trump. Movie was just the means to do the transaction.
Coincidentally, Ratner just got greenlit for Rush Hour 4, which had been in development hell since 2018.
Jackie Chan is the best. Must be a little long in the tooth now.
He’s a tool of the CCP.
Idk how you figure that. He is an actor, of course he’s going to have relations to his home country.
He’s always been a scummy fuck. He’s good with kicks and punches, sure, and he figures heavily in the Panama papers. He’s connected.
Yeah, but you wonder if he’d sign on to Rush Hour 4 now, knowing the director was in the Epstein files.
Even so, they had a massive budget, a competent director, and they didn’t manage to produce something that paints her in a good light.
Oh he’s competent alright.

Funny way to spell complicit
Stupid way to ignore that guy’s point.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s scum, but he’s an experienced director with several well-received movies under his belt. Both can be true.
The best way to launder money is to have a front that is legit. This way it pass the smell test if you just plug your nose a little.
I would assume bribes work the same way.
Malicious compliance?
I don’t understand the spending of millions on marketing.
Money laundering opportunity?
Yes, which is normal film industry stuff.
Which is a money laundering utopia.
As usual, people are giving way too much credit to Trump. The money wasn’t given to him, it was spent on making the shitty movie.
The film industry is just one massive money laundering scheme.
