Absolute far-left garbage. The historical inaccuracies are too numerous to count. I am dumb founded that a studio actually paid money for this crap. Wow, in the worst way, wow.

Pure fictional rubbish. When will Hollywood stop promoting this hateful, divisive agenda? These people clearly hate America.
