To push the crime rate below 1% for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of the oppressors meets the rage of the marginalized, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation. Because there are more parties being thrown than people being killed, the NFFA take matters into their own hands. The film has all new meaning inside the Trump political era that lends to a level of realism that the previous films did not have.

The latest installment in the Jurassic Park franchise has arrived and it has the same issues that all the previous direct sequels to Jurassic Park had. The franchise ultimately only has two stories and the latter is bringing the dinosaurs to the mainland and they get loose thus wreaking havoc. 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' is no exception. Adding in the notion of the dinosaurs possibly experiencing a natural extinction level event on the island doesn't really help the story much as it plays more as a jumping off point than anything else. Where the story lives and breathes is in the fate of the dinos as they make it back to the mainland. Of course, things go predictively left and we are once again thrown into the same chase and kill story we can walk through with our eyes closed at this point. Since 1993, the franchise has had nothing more to say, and somehow the writers and directors behind these movies haven't heard that message as loud and as clear as it is coming through the screen.
