Director Joe Wright in an interview with the left-wing site MovieLine:
“I think that the action genre is a very interesting one in terms of its place in a social context. I think that Paul Greengrass showed us with the Jason Bourne films that it was possible to make an action movie with a social conscience, a political-social context. You know, it’s not an accident that the journalist in the third film is writing for The Guardian newspaper. And so, I was interested in making such a film, because most action films that I see are misogynistic and misanthropic, and kind of gun-loving, Republican bullsh*t. And that concerns me because those are the films young people are going to see.”
Misogynistic? Misanthropic?
For the record, this is the same director who crafted an entire love story — the truly awful “Atonement” — around the word “cunt.” And because I’m a generous guy, I’d rather be called a liar than ask anyone to suffer through that turgid, overwrought pail of pretension. So no, don’t waste your time even with a Netflix.
His attacks on us make perfect sense, though. Nothing he’s done thus far has set the box-office on fire, so why not buy another chance by lashing out at the Right. When you’re known as the first director in history to make Robert Downey Jr. boring, you need some kind of quickie resume enhancer.
