Really redeemed itself in the final acts. Surprisingly realistic enough to believe every escalation and still maintain our sympathy for Rambo.

Jesus, Paul. Let me breathe for a second. Almost 3 hours of non-stop action and anxiety. Not a moment wasted.

I figured out I’m not a huge Tim Robinson fan, but this was a well executed comment on the kind of fragile male trapped in a cage of his own building.

I thought for so long that I was overthinking things and pulling meaning out of nothing. Nope, I’m pretty sure David Lynch just wore his heart on his sleeve and masterfully conveyed anxieties through art.
