negative · AI labelView post →Hard agree with, Matt! I actually need to revisit both of these films, but I do think we've come a long way from Mercury Rising (granted, I still dig that movie) But I think Affleck genuinely wants to do right by the community. Also the action is great! look forward to hearing your thoughts, Dom!
