Hey! Feel like the topic of political violence doesn’t come up near enough nowadays? Have you ever been doom scrolling and thought, “This is cool and totally not rotting my brain, but ya know what would be cool? Putting this up on a movie screen for 2 hours and 41 minutes!” If this is a current and accurate description of you, dear reader, get ready to be happy because boy! Is “One Battle After Another” for you! Leonardo DiCaprio plays Bob who for most of the movie is a broken down, always behind, drugged out criminal who was part of an anti-America militia. Just picture Antifa. They bomb buildings, they rob banks, they break into illegal alien holding facilities and free the illegal aliens. Fast forward and he’s hiding from the authorities with his high school-aged daughter. All along an immigration enforcement figure, named Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw and played by Sean Penn, is after him and his daughter. Will they elude the authorities and continue to break the law consequence free? Is it worth finding out at the theater? Check out this Movies Merica episode to find out! “One Battle After Another” also stars Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, Chase Infiniti, Shayna McHayle, Paul Grimstad, Dijon Duenas and Brooklyn Demme.
