Okay,
They actually produced a movie about ordinary citizens murdering others using a gun for justice in their own eyes. And this is awesome? Alright, let me return to my cave.

Darknlovely - Cops do it all the time. Have you expressed your outrage about that yet? Oh and even though cops aren't "ordinary citizens", (they are, after all, above the law) they are supposed to have the training and experience to know the difference.

Its JUST A MOVIE, about something everybody has dreamed about doing which to me, seems like it would be pretty entertaining. The last person I wanted to blow away was the convenience store clerk in NM that called the cops on me because I didn't want a bag for my beer.

Since it fits so well with the spirit of the movie, it's also quite widely availible for download for people who don't want to pay apple too.

Guy! Human life is something you take at the end of a barrel - point blank because you were offended, inconvenienced or hurt. And this is Justice? And you actually have such fantasies. Kill whoever you think you should because you are "Righteous, Moral & Just" and they are not. Oh, and because the cops are doing it, so should YOU - or maybe because my neighbor is doing it...so should I. Is this your thinking...even in dream like fantasy?

Darknlovely - Uh, I guess you aren't familiar with what passes for entertainment on TV, Nintendo or movies? Stop playing the righteous card. Its as disgusting and immature as blacks playing the racist card whenever there is a disagreement.

Personally, human life is not sacred, 7 billion and counting, quite rapidly too.

Ok, I'm 15 minutes into the movie and I'm CONVINCED that the person who wrote it is a member here on TF.

This is a MUST SEE.

Is the theme of this movie that society is f'd up? Or is it that easy availability of guns makes society f'd up?

"They actually produced a movie about ordinary citizens murdering others using a gun for justice in their own eyes. And this is awesome? Alright, let me return to my cave. "

It's a very dark satire that crosses the line in many places.

Lots of TF'ers will hate it.

I laughed out loud in many places.

Jmanng: No. You can watch the movie now on itunes or download from your favorite torrent site.

I watched it today. It's a MUST SEE for any regular TF poster.

It's probably going to be a cult classic in a VERY short period of time.

I find this trailer to be very disturbing

but why?

I think it has to do with the fact that these two people represent the LEAST likely to be going around killing people.

This movie totally puts stereotypes on its head.

This also causes discomfort in that the majority of the US is made up of rational people who are not likely to do irrational things such as done in this in the movie

— yet the trailer states "if you no longer live in a civilized society, why be civilized?"
