Unpopular opinion: I liked RIPD. I thought it was funny. It may not have been the best movie ever! but it was entertaining. I might be easy to please when it comes to moves though.
How about because the movie looks like it might be fun?
I think the reason it’s easier for foreigners to get action is that regardless of what your “disadvantages” are, you are exempt from your host countries rules. Being simply an American is exotic. From the wrong side of the tracks? Who cares! Nobody will know because those markers don’t exist in the foreignland.
So it’s pretty obvious from the new evidence in the linked article (i.e the undarkened photos) that this was indeed an honest mistake. It seems like maybe the title of this article should be reworded. Unless you meant it to be clickbait...ohhhh.
I’m just going to say it.
