Review of Memorial Day

Memorial Day (1998)
5/10
It's like if you got The Parallax View from wish'
4 December 2021
90 mins of a not quite there conspiracy movie that's not hurting anyone and just trying to make back its budget without embarrassing itself.

A government assassin bolts the ranch after having a crisis of conscience/nervous break down. He went to the media with a tale of space lasers launched to be used as kind of a proto-Space Force thing. Naturally super secret shadow gov't has him committed. They put the project on ice for awhile and bring him back as a pawn in an overthrow of the US gov't. As if anyone would try to over throw the gov't!! Will he clear his name and prevent totalitarian rule of the US?? I DON'T KNOW!!

All of the actors, also look like Wish version of actors. Wish Lee J. Cobb. Fat wish Martin Sheen. Actually two Wish Lee J Cobbs. Wish Peter Finch. They're mostly taught and tan and talk in a growly voice. None of them are horrible. One of the cast won a primetime Emmy.

It was nice of the writers to write one underused woman into this sausage fest.

A perfectly decent movie that you can mute if you have an important call to take. You won't miss anything.
