It is nice that in a civil society we can glorify people who use violence for political gain. Robert Redford is as main stream as you can get, his views are not some fringe wacko posting on DU. Well, they share the same views but anyway…
Ebert was a leftist, so politically he might have liked the movie; but one of his redeeming values was that as a movie critic he could be both independent and incisive, and see virtues in movies other critics panned.
With all due respect to the recently departed, it depends on which Roger Ebert. The middle-of-the-road Everyman-type Ebert from the 80’s and 90’s would have panned it. The bitter, terminal-cancer far-lefty Ebert would have gushed over it.
