I watched a total of three movies last year and two of them sucked. I don't think I've seen a movie so far this year, and I'm looking for suggestions. What's a movie that you really love?

Yeah, it really turns tropes on their head.

All the Chinese characters are the smart ones and the real heroes. And are played by actual Chinese actors.

The white guy is a dumbass who's in the right place at the right time and gets lucky.

    He checks all the right boxes for a sidekick too.

    He's comic relief. He's a flamboyant character. He chokes at almost every critical moment. He requires additional exposition so the rest of the team can explain things to the audience.

    The camera follows him, and he thinks he's the main guy. But we know he's not.

    "I'm starting to feel a bit like an outsider here."

    "You are!"
