Ironside: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

Ironside: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Watched Ironside so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Ironside.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Ironside?

Just got out of Ironside and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Ironside's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched Ironside last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Ironside actually is?

Director clearly thought Ironside was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
