The Panama Papers (2018)
Clarifying Documentary
While it is more about the journalists involved than the content of the papers, once they do discuss the Panama Papers you can be grateful for the clear information on who you can trust. If you are a US citizen, clearly not a single Democrat was involved in this nefarious business. So as suspected, we can rest assured they can be trusted as our moral leaders when going to the polls. Conversely, if you hadn't figured it out already, Trump and family have their hands in all sorts of nasty business. But we knew that. If you are residents of other countries, perhaps the documentary clarified your country's parties as clearly. Unfortunately, in the end, it didn't give much hope of change regardless for those of us not part of the 1% that have all the money. So maybe it's really a 1/10.
Above Ground (2017)
So dumb it was sadly hilarious
So other reviews have warned you how bad the acting is and how dumb the storyline is. Here's my question: what is up with all the smoking?? I mean not just in the movie but a lot and in such a way it's like it's part of the plot (but it's not) even down to the final scene?!? Movie should have been titled "Buddy, can I have a smoke?" Weird. Other than that, it's like the director grabbed some friends and said let's make a movie in our hometown and get the tobacco company to back it. I'd say it's good for a laugh, but it's not.
