Viva la republica

Rating: 4/10 (4 August 2019)

Obnoxious British flag waver (NB I am British too) that thinks it's a piece of youthful wish fulfilment as a little rascal becomes a spy and saves the world in the foot steps of his dad.
What it really is is a propaganda piece about how you can American, posh or a nice person but never all three at once.
With environmentalists (the bad kind) as the bad guys, the suggestion that every American is a god-bothering redneck and a real bias against anyone without a regional accent, this feels like it was made for people who vote for the UK Independence party.
Explosive and actiony and with a certain pizzazz and humour that makes it almost feel like it could become a classic of ladish entertainment but it does not judge the balance of people I want to root for and characters to hate. It's all a bit...toxic. And I have a high tolerance of that kind of thing usually.
There's this Swedish Princess that really annoys me. They think they're being naughty and fun but it's just excruciating.
