They both sucked and were way too long, but...1984 had an all white cast - yea. 1984 didn't have woke trannies in costumes - yea. 2021 had Stellan Skarsgard, even if his screen time was less than five minutes - yea. 2021 has so many more fake positive reviews on IMDB - yea. Denis Villenueve is a great director but he did himself no favors taking on this film. #FreeHarveyWeinsteinAndMakeMoviesGreatAgain.

Affairs of State
(2018)
Dreck by any other name is still dreck.
21 June 2018
The filmmakers were obviously attempting to piggyback on the current political environment but unfortunately this film fails in nearly all areas. The lead actor, David Corenswet, does an abysmal job and is not one bit believable in the role. The other characters come off like caricatures and the dialogue is endlessly littered with cliches. Most annoying was the cinematography which makes it appear like it was shot with an inexpensive camcorder. The film's budget was likely in the $100-150k range and it shows throughout. This is C-level straight to Netflix dreck that should be missed.
