It’s important to watch contemporary mass market schlock action movies to keep abreast of current trends in spectacle-making, and after watching this particular schlocky action movie the trend is: the decaying american empire is no closer to understanding itself, but it’s very good at suspenseful gore-fests with homoerotic undertones.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
