It basically looks to be a reiteration of the modern gripes that much of the left have of the current administration, but magnified about 1,000 times that of reality.
I don't really mind non-conformist films that have a message, I just like them to be artfully done, like
Dr. Strangelove or
American Psycho. From what I've seen of this film from the trailer, it doesn't look all that subtle or artful.
