Reading the title: How interesting, he's promoting a movie from one of the worst directors I have ever heard of. Oh of course.

I checked imdb and it had 6.8 which I 1000% cannot believe is accurate as somone who watched other uwe boll movies. I know its been 20 years since I seen one but they were all d tier and need to be lost by time or used as template on what not to do. I dk how he even got those actors in there.

From wiki

[10] Elon Musk subsequently promoted the film and made it available for free on X for two days.[11] Following its release on streaming, it became the No. 1 purchase on both the Apple TV Store and Amazon Prime Video.[12]

Fwiw, if the Prime video and Apple TV store are anything like the "NYT Best sellers list" it really doesn't take much to send a title to the top when the typical market is people buying a wode selection of titles with no trend whatsoever.

A paid-only release alongside hyper-performative consumerism for said product is how these things skyrocket despite not being very popular at all.

Now that I think anout it, 6.8 is pretty bad when your audience are willing to ignore the typical faults because it suits their political fetish. Sycophants who can't even give you a good score!

Your typical prole is not gonna buy overt neo nazi shit when their brains are being kept in a gentle equilibrium of Hitlerism hidden behind a veil of liberalism. they'll stick to saving private Ryan
