It reminds me of “A History of Violence” with Viggo Mortensen. I agree that the tired trope of how villains are cast is insulting to our intelligence. At least such movies don’t fall into the pit of portraying men as incompetent buffoons, toxic predators like far too many do now. It’s as if there’s some sort of psyop training going on…
If I wrote a screenplay about a good honest hardworking non-western straight guy winning against a rich woke “Karen” using the might of the State to crush people, it would probably be a fun cathartic story but never get made into a movie. I’ll bet there already are such scripts.
