Whoa, Keanu | Rating: 4/5 There's a mesmerizing quality to the visuals that transcends the array of genres the film effortlessly hops between. Together, they hatch a plan to solve both of their problems-no matter what the cost. Bristling with anger and feminine agency, Assassination Nation is a warning shot, a rallying cry, and a daring artistic statement about the role of women in response to the rise of Trump and his cronies.
