Okay, I’ll be the asshole that bursts everyone’s bubble. This movie is a piece of shit. The script has the subtlety of an anvil falling on Wile E. Coyote’s head. It’s fun to watch, but so is Plan 9 From Outer Space. I place this very much on the same shelf as Kevin Costner’s The Postman.

“This movie is a piece of shit.” Wow, that’s some trenchant film criticism there. You really burst my bubble with that one.
Will see it, regardless! Gots to support Clint!
The Postman really isn’t that bad. The bit at the end with the horse, yeah that makes you wish everyone dead, not just in the movie but in real life, but the rest is acceptable post apocalyptic fun. And Tom Petty is the mayor!
