- neuroparadox29 juli 2025Joan Allen, Jeff Bridges, (a deliciously despicable) Gary Oldman, and, hell...even Christian Slater give great performances. I think this film has aged very well, and it's a shame (and perhaps embarrassment) that some of the issues addressed in this film are still relevant, if not worse, than in 2000. I guess politics never changes, it just keep getting worse until that society implodes and starts the cycle again from the ashes of revolution....but that was before TikTok 🤣😂 #boomer
