You can write a lot of words but the fact is there's just an international appetite for movies with big American stars and lots of bullets. I think Mile 22 is the type exemplar. These are movies that you can watch dubbed, subtitled or even without translation and probably enjoy if you just want action. They're not making any political allegories. People are heroes because they help their friends or are faithful to their cause. They can get the rubber stamp of approval from any authoritarian government. They're even set in fake countries (Indocarr?) with Asian antagonists filmed in Colombia. I'm hoping that we will see people get bored of these films and the international audience will start demanding more story and character development. Until then, well....
