They were slowly, remorselessly crushed for the next two hours. This was one of those movies whose internal logic was so vague and the plot so meandering that I rarely had any clue what was going on. Set at the height of the COVID pandemic, a sheriff who is angry at mask mandates decided to run against the mayor who is enforcing them. Then he gets mad and shoots the mayor, and tries to pin it on BLM protestors. Then someone is chasing and shooting at the sheriff. COVID conspiracy theories are spouted by a different character every few minutes. The conclusion is . . . well, so bizarre I'm still scratching my head as to exactly what this movie was about. Either it was so subtly brilliant it's just beyond my grasp, or else it's an incomprehensible train wreck that stole two hours of my life. Either way, I think I would rather have watched NUREMBURG again. 2/5
