Manhunt (2024)
Anachronistic writing and supporting casting
Menzies, as always, is excellent, as are most of the cast. But as much as I love Patton Oswalt, he isn't well suited to a historical drama. A couple of other minor character actors similarly detracted.
Many of the expressions used in the writing ("consider me Switzerland," "don't get me wrong," as just two examples) and open discussion of a homosexual relationship in court were wholly out of place for a dramatization of historical events from the 1860s. I found it distracting, and fairly surprising that a production of this caliber hadn't had a better copy editor.
Side note: great costuming.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Sharknado but with aliens.
I'm pretty sure a 9th grader wrote this movie. The actors try hard to make the best of gaping plotholes and crises with no explanation (or logic). Even JK Simmons can't save this movie...but bless him for trying.
