I’m sorry what happened with this movie?

Plot involves investigating far right terror groups and supposedly has some elements that are somewhat similar to the Kirk shooting.

It was scheduled to be released right around the time Kirk was killed, so the release was pushed.

I knew nothing about this movie and have the same feelings bout Kirk as most of Lemmy but I think delaying it was the right call. They probably left money from the outrage coverage on the table but it would have been known as “The Charlie Kirk movie”

Jessica Chastain has been getting a home run of movies roles for the last 6 years or so.

Glad to see it get the light of day. Lame it was delayed at all to begin with and its impact will be reduced.
