The opening was punctuated with a map like this:
There was a red, a white and a blue band coming down through it, and with guns delineating the state lines--interspersed with a rap song with subtitles, which I actually appreciated. Much of the dialogue throughout the movie was to a rhyming rap tempo, which worked.............some of the time.
I should mention, when I ordered my matinee ticket, the cashier studied for a while and then said they weren't showing that any more. I pointed to the showtime on the board and she said, "Ohhhhh, I thought you said Trainwreck". She may have been trying to warn me, I don't know, but I was the only one in the theater until after it started when a black couple came in. Trainwreck is pretty close, but it definitely has its up moments--highest of which is Samuel L. Jackson as a stand in for the Greek chorus, the story being based on sexual abstention tactics used by women in the Greek play "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes. The first 15 minutes had me thinkin', hey this is actually pretty good, but it was a setup. The boom was lowered with John Cusack as a White stand in for Rev. Wright (get it) delivering a sermon that continued the neck breaking political theme. BS message aside, that scene is a career topping performance for him. Hell I almost stood and shouted "Amen!" myself. Later, John Cusack leads a funeral procession through the church alongside the aforementioned (and uncredited) Rev Wright, or a drop dead lookalike.
The De facto subtitle, or tagline, summing up the plot and its Lysistratian, anti-Peloponnesian War tactics, should have been, "No peace, no pussy". They said it often enough. Summing it up, I give it a 2-8/10 which averages out to 5/10
