ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is an action movie about a white violent communist revolutionary, played by Leo DiCaprio, who goes undercover with his baby girl after the black mother leaves them, and 16 years later gets separated from her when she goes on the run from the evil white racist soldier who’s come to kidnap her and kill her if a DNA test proves he’s the girl’s real father. Filled with lots of strong foul language, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a senseless Marxist thriller that’s supposed to take place in the present day and that promotes violent anti-American, anti-capitalist revolution, open borders, and illegal immigration, and depicts an underground white racist cabal as being Christian while showing Hispanic Roman Catholic churches as favoring illegal immigration.
The movie opens with a violent communist group calling itself the French 75 raiding a detention. center for illegal aliens on the border. The goal is to release all the detainees and transport them north in a big truck. DiCaprio plays “Ghetto” Pat, the group’s explosives expert, During the raid, he sets off a serious of fireworks and small explosives as a diversion. Meanwhile, Pat’s lover, a black woman named Peridia played by Teyana Taylor, sexually humiliates the detention center’s commander, Capt. Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn.
After freeing the illegals, Pat, Perfidia and their comrades carry out a series of bombings against politicians’ offices, a bank and the power grid. However, Lockjaw captures Perfidia at one point but lets her go if she agrees to have a sexual encounter with him at a hotel. She meets him there and fornicates with him. Though he’s a virulent racist, Lockjaw is aroused by her.
Perfidia gives birth to a baby girl, Charlene. However, she’s unable to live as a family with Pat and her baby. The movie suggests that she thinks Lockjaw may be the father, but she doesn’t tell Pat.
So, Perfidia leaves them to continue her violent revolutionary activities, but she gets caught after deliberately killing a bank guard in cold blood. Lockjaw arranges for her to go into witness protection if she rats out her commie buddies. She agrees, and Lockjaw starts tracking them down and killing them.
Meanwhile, Bob is forced to go into hiding with Baby Charlene under the names Bob and Willa Ferguson. Also, Lockjaw, carrying flowers, shows up at Perfidia’s new house, but only finds a crude note to him saying her body will never belong to him.
Cut to 16 years later. Pat and Charlene, aka Bob and Willa, are living in a sanctuary city. Willa’s mother has never returned. So, Bob maintains a close watch on his teenage daughter, making sure she doesn’t have a cellphone and making her reveal who her friends are (in case one of them is an undercover agent). However, Bob spends his days drinking whiskey and smoking marijuana.
Meanwhile, Lockjaw is a lieutenant in the border patrol. He’s being courted by a secret cabal of white racist men calling themselves the “Christmas Adventurers Club.” Their headquarters plays Christmas carols, and they have a fascination with St. Nick. They ask Lockjaw whether he’s ever had sexual relations with a black woman. Lockjaw lies and says no.
So, Lockjaw is now hunting down Bob and Willa. He’s hired a Native American bounty hunter to track them down. After capturing one of Bob’s old compatriots, the man tracks them to the sanctuary city where they live
Lockjaw sends his troops into the city, but the remaining French 75 radicals send out a distress signal. Members rescue Willa from the high school dance before the troops raid the dance. Bob barely escapes from the troops who come to raid his house.
So, Bob now frantically tries to hook back up with Willa. He gets help from her Latino karate instructor, who happens to be running an underground railroad for illegal immigrants.
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a senseless Marxist thriller that’s supposed to take place in the present day. The movie’s plot is senseless because the leading male character is said to have been born sometime in the 1980s. However, the plot sounds like something that should have started during the 1960s and 70s when violent Marxist radicals like the Weathermen were bombing and killing people.
That said, the movie has some wild and crazy scenes that will hold a moviegoer’s interest. Also, the final chase sequence is pretty suspenseful.
However, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER has an abhorrent humanist, communist worldview. In fact, the movie incites violent Marxist revolution. As such, it’s anti-American and anti-capitalist. It also promotes open borders and mass illegal immigration, which also has led to much violence across the country in recent years and still does, despite successful attempts to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER also has a hateful attitude toward Christians in America. All the white characters are part of a racist cabal of white men surrounded by Christmas carols. The white racist group in this movie is a shallow Marxist caricature. Only a foolish or ignorant person would buy into it. Also, it must be noted that no one has a moral or legal right to come to the United States or stay in the United States illegally.
Thus, with recent, horrific examples of Christian evangelists being attacked and assassinated and attacks on ICE immigration officers while arresting illegal alien criminals, this movie is bound to add more fuel to the fire. America doesn’t need a violent communist movie like ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER right now, if ever.
The only thing mitigating the movie’s evil worldview is the strong love that the leading male character has for his daughter. The daughter receives a loving letter from her mother in the movie, but the letter rings false considering the mother’s callous attitude toward her when she’s a baby and her ruthless murder of the security guard in the bank. The movie should have shown in a scene or two that the mother’s character had softened.
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER also has strong sexual language and more than 150 obscenities and profanities, including more than 100 “f” words and 13 strong profanities.
