Netflix's Playdate. (spolier discussions, but trust me, you don't care.)

So i was bored and saw a trailer for Playdate and on a whim I decided to give it a watch and yes, it is bad. VERY bad. For one this the movie reads like it was written by AI. And the editing and ADR is atrocious as well. Look. It's just a BAD movie overall.

BUT. There is a discussion to be had. Because of the ending.

The movie is about Kevin James trying to bond with his step son who is coded as being Gay because he likes to dance. And macho Kevin just can't seem to connect with this kid. (Who already calls him dad by the way)

While trying to bond in the park by throwing a football around, they encounter Alan Richson's Character who is doing the same thing and they strike up a conversation.

Long story short, they both start being chased by bad men with guns because Alan's character stole the kid he currently acting as the father towards.

Eventually they find out that the kid is actually a military clone of Alan Richson's character, and the bad guys get the kid back back. When Kevin and Alan finally find the kid to get him back, they discover not just one kid, but hundreds.

They eventually get Their Kid back but then the question arises as what to do about the rest of them. The movie decides...

TO BLOW THEM THE FUCK UP!

You read that right. they blow up hundreds of innocent brainwashed kids.

My only question is did NO ONE at any point go "Hey guys, maybe blowing up a bunch of kids might look bad, don't you think?"

Like, did Kevin James and Alan Richson not once go "Guys, I'm not so sure I want to star in a movie where we mass murder children?"
