    Wish they weren't attached to a project about that bombing, part. by this director. Didn't like the handling of the manhunt by the police, as it looked like a military takeover more than police activity. Add in the chest thumping jingoism/nationalism that followed & this director's history of similar movies, and I'm not a fan.

    I get what you're saying, but in comparison to Before the Flood, it's clear they're not playing favorites politically.

    It's a little depressing that both issues like climate change and law enforcement in the face of a terrorist attack get politicized, but consider me interested sheerly on TR's & AR's scoring. Cool!
