The movie has drawn sharp conservative backlash for its portrayal of left-leaning revolutionaries as sympathetic anti-fascist figures clashing with cartoonish authoritarian villains, which some interpret as glorifying "left-wing terrorism" or anti-conservative propaganda. Critics like Ben Shapiro called it an "apologia for radical left-wing terrorism," Armond White labeled it a "reckless ode to radical terrorism" and "the yearβs most irresponsible movie," and outlets like The Blaze and National Review accused it of romanticizing political assassinationβespecially amid 2025's real-world tensions, including the fictionalized assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk in their narratives. Author Bret Easton Ellis even suggested the rave reviews stem from "leftist sensibilities" propping up a film that "hasn't read the room." These takes often frame the film's left-wing network as a stand-in for modern "antifa" and its villains as Trump-era conservatives! Not a movie I'm interested in watching...
