Yup!

You'll love it. Stays pretty close to the main plot lines and looks amazing. The director has a reputation for lush visuals (e.g. Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) and it is particularly appropriate here. The Hans Zimmer score is just right too. I am not a fan of much sci-fi or pulp stuff (e.g. I hate all that Marvel nonsense), but I was really impressed with this.

If you are on a film set where they are not willing to take gun safety seriously, where your producer continues to fail to ensure safety of the weapons, where some of your colleagues have walked off because of gun safety, and others have taken weapons off set to shoot tin cans, and there have already been three complaints about gun safety which your producer hasn't resolved -  Why would you then stand in front of that producer and let him to shoot you? Is it just stupidity? Desperation for money? Or was she just thinking, 'well it'll never happen to me'?

Justice has been served correctly.

Going to a riot is stupid. Everyone on the planet knows this. The moment you choose to go to a riot, you have made a decision knowing it is stupid and dangerous.
Going to a riot with weapons is magnitudes of stupid higher. The moment you decide to do it, you know the dangers you are taking on.
So a bunch of stupid people went to a riot with weapons, every single one of them knowing how dangerous and stupid it was, and every one of them betting that they were going to be better and luckier than everyone else.

They all understood exactly what could happen when they chose their own actions. They all got what they deserved.

The media is protecting them plain and simple.  All the outlets with "Peaceful protests" chyrons overlaying images of burning businesses, neighborhoods and other public places should have their licenses revoked by the FTC.  The glorification of individuals killed and maimed as 'Heroes' while having rap sheets longer than my arm are beyond the pale. No one deserves to die ever, but dont paint them as the Virgin Mary.  The government at ALL levels be it federal, state or local, however continue to fail its people with allowing this crap to continue. What I fail to comprehend is how these same people who lost everything will pull the same fkn lever to re-elect those who allowed it (and encouraged it) to happen.
