Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mel Gibson's devoted cop daddy goes on the rampage when his 23-year-old "activist" daughter is blasted on his porch.
He seeks retribution. Mel does this sort of avenger role ( see Ransom, Payback, Lethal Weapon, Braveheart etc) in his sleep, indeed, he seems to be nodding off in Martin Campbell's heavy-handed remake of the BBC's excellent Eighties political thriller, which had a haunted Bob Peck in the lead role. But it all turns really silly when Ray Winstone's "consultant in security" pops up, mumbling in an underground car park. About as subtle as Tina Turner's hair in Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome, this lacks the original's intellectual heft and gut-wrenching sadness.
