I have to say, I was rather leery about the movie's premise for about half of the runtime. I kept worrying it would do some garbage "did it happen or didn't it? " copout or something like that. But it didn't! The third act really tied it together in a satisfying way and avoided the pitfalls I was concerned about. And apart from that, it was also a good time! Both Damon's and Driver's characters are entertaining to watch despite and/or because of being horrendous people. And as a dumb nerd, I did appreciate that they made a solid effort in making the combat look pretty historic and realistic.

Womp posted:Still not really sure whats up with Drivers part of the story. As he somewhat alluded to in his talk with Affleck, he believed that Marguerite only fought back for propriety's sake and was actually totally into it. To what degree he actually believed it as opposed to using it as a justification to himself is somewhat left up to the viewer, but he seemed fairly genuine about that belief. He certainly seemed self-absorbed enough to believe that. And it's still a shockingly common justification used by rapists to this day.
