Hours ago I viewed Civil war. It was entertaining but not great.

Plemons’ scene was 👍. He’s 👍 at the remorseless killer role. In my mind I compared that scene to the cliched action scene in countless movies where there were so much killing. In that cliched scene, the deaths had little effect on me. Since the writer didn’t establish some kind of connection to the viewer? Maybe? While in Plemons’ scene, the viewer doesn’t want Jessie, Lee and Joel to die, so the 2 Asians’ deaths were effective for me. Also, Jessie, Lee, Joel and Tony didn’t know what to say to Plemons’ question. Does it matter to say something? What’s the right answer? So Plemons will let us go. I guess that type of writing makes tension.

Jessie going to the line of fire at the end was lame.
