“Incoherently idealistic” and a “straightforwardly fascist tale about the need of a brilliant leader to guide the dull masses and the corrupt elite out of the muck in which they wallow and into a brighter future, democracy be damned.” Very good reasons to ignore this film.

But so many brilliant actors going “bonkers” at “110% of the required wattage” …I kinda have to watch this movie now.

(Also as an admittedly generic and poorly aimed protest vote against the big studios’ assumption that only the lowest common denominators are worth pursuing)
