The Day Shall Come - If This Is Satire, It Came and Went
14 November 2023
On paper, this one claimed to be exposing the corrupt activities of elements of the FBI. This was to be done via several real-life sham operations, including a plot to mock-up a case against an impoverished Preacher of a local 'church'. In turn, this would bring recognition and false justification to the dept's worthless existence. If better handled this might have been commendable, but the problems surface early in the script, with crudely written vulgar dialogue, delivered in sloppy, so-called 'hip satirical humor'.

This might have supplied something worth' thinking' about while making us laugh, by rightly delivering a well-deserved slam of the FBI - also exposing the hypocrisy of certain Black vers White (and other 'racial' hatred) movements. As is, it's difficult to raise more than a mild grin with endless unfunny lines that simply leave the hapless performers with a foot in their mouths while delivering endless, perverse one-liners.

'Controversial' (too often for the sake of it) writer/director Christopher Morris (Brass Eye-Paedophilia prog) along with Tony Roche and others have pushed this lame duck over the edge, and into oblivion.

Lovers of so-called 'outlandish satire' may find this to their offish tastes, but looking at ticket sales, most audiences were aware in advance, displaying intelligence by staying away (perhaps a wake-up call needed here for BFI producers) Has good things to say but throws them away.

And by the way SBS World Movies, this is obvious MA material- not M as you are currently misguiding viewers with.
