I had an idea when I was in high school about a school shooting movie that would involve 3 or 4 completely different types of students. (the trendy well dressed guy, the korean or filipino mmorpg playing guy, and the weird kid with a heart of gold realize that the exact moment they all left class to go use the bathroom a school shooting started to play out. Somewhere in the movie they could meet a female too but she has to have a quirk like being in the school band or something It would essentially unravel into becoming Die Hard meets the Breakfast Club where the moral of the story would have been that regardless of our outer appearances we're all far more similar and likely to get along than we could even begin to fathom and that it's a horrible thing to isolate yourself to the point where the only thing can you see your life devolving into is committing a massacre. The message was there and everything but now that I'm 24 I can see how distasteful the whole thing is even with a message like that. With that being said I can and can't believe that this movie exists.

I’m looking at reviews for this movie and it’s funny because one person was like oh it’s terrible with points I didn’t understand and everyone else saying it’s pretty good and with the same reasons.

[@whichcache2517]

The one thing that stuck out to me when I saw the trailer for this movie was that it'd make sense if it were a parody that played the whole thing straight, showcasing the absurdity of it all whilst making a commentary on how we've become so desensitized to school shootings that someone could make a Die Hard-style movie out of one. But the fact that it's distributed by The Daily Wire and is supposed to be genuine proves that point in spades; we really are so desensitized to school shootings that someone made a genuine Die Hard-style movie out of a school shooting.

[@TraTranc]

Well, I've seen it, and NO, it's not "Die Hard in a school". And I liked it BECAUSE it's distributed by The Daily Wire and does not tackle the school shooting issue with in-your-face radical leftist gun control commentary.

[@whichcache2517]

​@@TraTranc I mean, if a movie where the main character in a pedestrian setting has to take on an over-the-top villain who's routinely murdering people to accomplish a certain goal, while said main character literally has to "run, hide, and fight" in order to succeed", it's pretty obvious this is inspired in some part by Die Hard. Or if not that, Trigger Warning by J.A. Johnstone, which is even more like Die Hard.. (also, you kinda further proved my point by denoting the concept of gun control as a radical leftist message, ignoring the fact that in a parody where the scenario is played straight, much of the same things would've happened except for the authorial intent.)

i respect that you were able to at the very least give it a fair review in terms of production and did not just hate on it for the message. where i think you get some things wrong are in regards to how successful or unsuccessful the propaganda aspect was. i think you are taking the PureFlix model of doing propaganda film and believing that is how it is done and therefor they failed in their execution. they were not trying to glorify their supporters and demonize their detractors. they did not take some of the low blows at liberals by putting this in a liberal state like Cali. they used their own environment which was both smart and reapectful. also by doing this it helps show that the one size fits all model liberals push for doesn’t work because of small towns like this where simply removing guns would probably be worse. where i think the preachiness of the film comes out is showing the flaws of over regulating school shooting procedures. you poke fun at how no one knows this is currently happening and no one is doing anything to stop it but the reality is in many school shooting situations this is the reality. id suggest watching some of their additional content on the film as well and it may sum up some gaps in logic you think the film has. all that being said i do agree some of the dialogue is a bit “fake” and cheesy. i have the same opinion about cursing in teen movies and i’m definitely going to be thinking about the military time thing going forward in things i watch

[@blindcampsRus]

so just rewatched this the other night and while i do agree with the statement about how many movies have high schooler talk and they omit cursing, i dont think it applies as much here as you think. there was plenty of cursing in the film by student’s and adults. i think what led to your assessment of this error in dialogue is the fact that there is very little student to student conversation throughout the movie

Movies can be propaganda for an ideal, even if they weren’t initially financed by a group publicly within that circle. But, Ben Shapiro having his name prominently as an Executive Producer, not just having a co-owned company do distribution; is showing he does see the film as worthwhile to directly market to people who look up to him. I couldn’t see him putting his name on this movie, if the message was about the factual ineptitude of armed guards/personnel in preventing school shootings. Not the “these kids would be dead, if liberals took away 2A” arguments that are at the heart of Conservative reviews of this movie.

The main complaint about this movie is making light of a serious topic as school shootings... and yeah you put it in a good perspective: that's the whole point of the movie, you should expect it going in. It's like watching any action movie where there's a hostage situation, or a murder, or animal abuse, or any bad thing you can think of and going "that's not cool for the people who lived this stuff" Another thing is it being inflated with conservative meanings, and now not having watched the movie I don't know how much propaganda is in there so I might be wrong, but I still feel like critics are putting so much more attention to it than they would in any other movie where the good guy uses weapons to save the day, or stuff like that. And at the same time people on the right are giving it an unfair advantage, like the movie is not complete garbage so they're gonna praise it like it's a "great" movie, they're all like "FINALLY! Some movie on our side!!" And neither side realizes that a lot of movies already include conservative themes and morals, such as giving importance to the traditional nuclear family, having a strong patriotism, and so forth. Of course there's a lot of liberal themes in movies too, but I'm saying so may movies hide their themes underneath a humane and interesting story, in this case it's only much more visible, either intentionally or not, so the movie ends up being much more polarizing. Whatever the reason, the difference between the critics score and audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is pretty incredible. (25% vs 93%)

The majority of those that were turned off by the basis of the film didn't watch it. Therefore they didn't vote. The ultra conservative target audience would've naturally approved because it is literally meant to pander to them. This results in the majority of the votes being positive simply because the only people other than critics that watched it were shown a film tailor-made for their political sensibilities. The critics tend to watch the film regardless of their political leanings. This group would have a more equitable balance between the left and right. The lower critic score shows that this film was disliked from across the political divide. If more people who didn't feel comfortable about the film's premise (or weren't familiar with the insular bubble the film originated in) actually watched and then voted you would find the public score to be much lower.

Good review guys but what conservative propaganda? This was from the producers of Bone Tomahawk and Brawl In Cell Block 99, they're not even American. And if you think this movie somehow touts gun advocacy then we watched a completely different film. The only thing conservative about this film is the studio who picked it up. This film was shot and in the books. They were looking for a way to distribute it in North America and Hollywood wouldn't put it out because of the subject matter.

Its not a propaganda movie. If you mean there are good hearted messages to it then sure...but I thought that was just a good movie. The fact you try to force the idea of that says a lot. It was entertaining, over the top, and had good commentary, tho yes it was kinda all over the place.

[@milrod8226]

You're upset at them seeing conservative commentary, but then you also say it has commentary? It's a movie distributed by a conservative outlet and a conservative commentator, is marketed to conservatives, and has references to "the wall" and "trigger warnings." Some of you are being very disingenuous in saying this doesn't lean a certain way.

"Good hearted message" - movie ends with main protagonist going psycho, ignoring cops who were right there and going after bad guy herself, wounding him and leaving him there to suffer. This is treated as an uplifting badass moment. It also utterly simplifies school shooters as people who were just born evil, and we literally have a mentally Ill dude who's entire motivation is that he was mentally Ill. A good hearted message.

Something tells me you'd have different thoughts if that were the case.

Donald Trump himself could direct, write and produce a film where he plays every character and so long as it’s good, I wouldn’t care one way or another. There’s no right-wing propaganda in Run Hide Fight, yes it was a film written and produced by conservatives, but so what? Avengers Endgame was written and produced by liberals, yet it’s not widely considered leftist propaganda. Even Rob was having issues with the review because he WANTED to claim it was right-wing propaganda, yet he kept giving examples on how it wasn’t the case, he constantly said “Who was this made for?”, because he believes it was made as a conservative circlejerk similar to movies like God’s Not Dead and War Room, when in reality it was just made for people who wanted to enjoy a solid B action flick. It’s not a political movie, and it was written by a conservative, this basic idea blows the minds of so many people it’s ridiculous.

Sorry, no. It's not "Die Hard in a school". And at the very least it doesn't tackle the school shooting phenomenon with in-your-face gun control advocacy like other movies on the same issue.
