I watched it for the first time in 2026, against the background of Trump's jokes with Buba, Epstein, shit with Iran and everything else. It's clear that I'm attracted, but since when has our life started to make movies, and not the other way around😀
The case when movies have only gotten better over the years)

I've reviewed it several times, although it's unusual for me. It's great every time.
