she worked for an organisation that was secretly funded by the CIA to do anti-communist activism. she also denied that there was racism against Black women in the US or some such thing. she said (words to that effect), "people are making a big fuss over nothing, Black women are doing just fine in the US". she's the perfect example of a "white liberal capitalist friendly feminist." she also supported Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal and defended other rapist men over victims.

I had not actually seen this movie until recently, when my brother wanted to watch it with me.
What a ****ty film. OMG THIS RICH WALL STREET GUY KILLS PEOPLE AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! WOW SUCH EDGY SOCIAL COMMENTARY! Sorry, but it isn't edgy, it isn't shocking, it has absolutely nothing to say, and there is absolutely nothing even remotely compelling about it. It is a dumb, brainless, ridiculous glorified splatter movie that doesn't even have the balls to actually show its splatter scenes, playing it safe and keeping everything sanitized for mainstream audiences. No wonder teenage edgelords love it so much. -

I read the book. The film held back A LOT.
But yes, the film isnt deep. I wouldn't call it dumb either, though, it's a glossy, sleazy, piece of postmodern irony, almost as hollow as it's main character, but intentionally so.
