I hated the first one. After half of the movie I realized it was MKULTRA programming. The smoking. The "rebel" and the color pallet are all meant to evoke a consumer rebel and materialist view which falls in nicely to bond consumer nonsense. Kind of similar to Spencer in the mall selling Anarchy shirts in the 1980s.

Same drivel and same programming.

Escaping the nonsense is a rewarding daily activity.
