Explanation: This comment conveys a violent threat to someone.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: I do read reviews because I enjoy intelligent commentary whether I agree with it or not. Unfortunately I've stopped going to movies as much as I did because of the amount of advertising junk before the main feature. If it's a popular film and you try to come late to avoid the mindless adverts, you can have difficulty finding a seat.
Answer:
Non-threat
