The short answer is: I have no short thoughts thereof. It is a movie, not yet released. What thoughts should I have that are worth considering? The briefer answer is: none.
Thus disclaimed: I note that that the film's well-known producer has come out positively in front of its release. That fact alone makes the movie fair game for limited critical comment ahead of its box office debut.
Having thus taken the bait, here goes.
Is Mel Gibson a proven, bankrollable cinematic talent? Few could convincingly dispute that characterization. His resiliancy—in all aspects—is remarkable, to say the least.
How many people would count Mel Gibson's reprehensible, personal/moral failings as ascendant over his creditable, movie-making record?
The answer is: more than are worth considering, at least in the money-making artistic context.
My personal FWIW: Why should anyone's commentary about the film-maker's personal issues matter? All are free to vote with their $$s, now or later. More to the point: Why should anyone care beyond that? One more step: Why should anyone's FWIW matter at all?
The judgment of history awaits here: not immediately, but ultimately for sure. And it's not yet available. Not for a long while. At least a week post-release, anyway.
Perspective always trumps immediacy. That said, the immediators will reflexibly write “final” judgment. Their judgments will remain debatable by the ultimate victors. Ultimately, God is Sole Custodian of the Truth: here and now, and in saecula saeculorum.
Meanwhile, can't we all just get along, grow up and take things in their proper, fallible (and ephemeral) perspective? IOW, shut our cake holes until we have anything worth saying, after the fact: i.e. at least after we have gone to the movie?
BTW: Mr. Wahlberg's auto dealerships in my area constitute a significant economic act of faith. I only hope they are are well-founded and successful.
