I haven’t seen it yet but reading a few reviews suggests some people are having a hard time with the movie not taking a side. I think a lot of people thought the movie would be different based on the trailers, or they wanted it to be one thing but it’s a different thing and they’re confused.
My guess is a lot of people who went into it are politically conscious one way or another, they entertain the possibility of a US civil conflict in real life, and were expecting a gratification of their own views.
I know the gun community was basically wishing for an action movie wankfest where the based trad-cons drive out the Deep State and their liberal puppets. They particularly hated that journalists were the protagonists.
I don’t watch a lot of trailers… and I love being confused and surprised by a movie. It’s such a genuine emotional response I don’t get much from movies anymore.

So I guess I was the target audience!
