Watched the new Netflix Batfleck/Hathaway movie.
With such a cast, including Dafoe as well I figured it was good.
LMAO, what a mess of a movie. It is called "The last Thing he wanted" or something.
Basically this reporter chick is looking into the Iran Contra affair but if you didn't watch Narco's the week before you probably miss that link.

Turns out her dad is suffering from dementia and actually an arms dealer sending guns to the Sandinista's or Contra's or 'they're all the same' really.
So because he's ill she has to stand in for him. As she takes the shipment she figures out something is not right, as she's not getting paid.
She does all this dumb shit. Like Carrie Homeland but dumber, much dumber. While constantly playing the: "I'm the strong women with F E E L I N G S angle".
Affleck is this government agent but we don't really know what his position is. Just agent and he's close to the secretary of state.
He fucks her for some reason despite her hating him because he's one of the bad Reagan guys. And boy does she hate Reagan.
In the ends he shoots her because he was the one pulling the strings all along and they had sorta ran out of people who could be the bad guy.
In between there's the whole divorce, kid in boarding school, token minority friend, breast cancer, boss who doesn't care about JOURNALISM, undercover French agent, retired CIA(?) gay man with a safe house who wants BBC and weird Russian(?) guy in on the deal(?). After 30 minutes it makes zero sense. I kept watching because I enjoy a flaming train wreck such as this from time to time.
I like how you can tell from Affleck's face how much he hated to act in this flaming garbage pile of a movie despite seeing Anne's titties.
