Netflix’s latest mindless action extravaganza, Outside the Wire, is a so-called anti-war movie that leaves way to much to be desired. For fans of the genre it’s just another generic sci-fi action flick, though admittedly it’s made surprisingly enjoyable by its action set-pieces and chemistry between actors Anthony Mackie and Damson Idris who both shine throughout. However, things never progress beyond formulaic and whilst Anthony Mackie and Damson Idris do a great job, by the final third act things become too convoluted and, when mixed with a rather dreadful script, the film ultimately fails to deliver on its somewhat interesting premise.
2021 Releases Ranked 

Einmal so geliebt werden, wie Netflix unterdurchschnittliche Actionfilme liebt.

The fact that one of the characters is a robot man has pretty much nothing to do with anything else in this. Also it's miserably serious and boring.

I'Robot's Training Day Behind Enemy Lines by Mehflix...

A predictable mess that lacks originality, suspense, emotional stakes and anything that could add entertainment value.

Starring actors that were hired to only do one faces.

Probably written by someone who accidentally sent the first draft.

This gets a little more interesting in the second half, but man the first hour of this, like so many of these Netflix wannabe blockbusters, is just boring. (See also: Bright, Project Power, Extraction.) They’re all so dour and gritty and self-important. Don’t people want popcorn movies to be ... fun?

2021 Ranked

Netflix gives us three of these pointless action movies a year. I don't ever see anyone asking for them. Oh, look! Someone from the MCU! The budget is far too high to be justifiable! Are you interested yet?!

But I'm sure it will "trend" for a week, so good on them. I guess.

A damn good action movie with a ‘90s Buddy Cop vibe, Outside the Wire features great chemistry between Anthony Mackie and Damson Idris. The showstopper is Idris, as his performance commands the screen. 

The screenplay could’ve been better, but there’s a lot of action to make up for it. 

Outside the Wire is definitely a watchable and entertaining action movie.

What if... Falcon was The Terminator?

there was an attempt I guess

Multo clichês mas interessante.

IMDb: 5.4/ 10
Metacritic: 45
Rotten Tomatoes: 36%

Average Score: 45

This was an underwhelming want-to-be Terminator with some fun action scenes and on the surface, a lot of thought-provoking themes, like the role of drones and robots in warfare and the human impact of war, but it never went beyond the surface level. I will give it credit for trying.

Dumb. Really dumb. Clever turns here and there. But dumb.

Could've been so much more.

🙄

Another 'date night - movie night' at home... Really liked it, but Jean felt it was a little 'far-fetched'. It does kinda push the boundaries of believability even in the super hero genre. But was the believability lacked the story-telling performances more than made up for.

let Anthony Mackie appear in our movie
Is the movie good or bad
it does not matter

That's some Call Of Duty shit right there

Honestly, pretty cool ideas of modern warfare, badass robots doing the fighting, frisbee grenades etc. But ultimately this came across pretty cheesy for the most part. I'm not expecting a film like this to be super realistic but seeing a guy leap through one window of a car and through the window on the other side just came across as ridiculous. The story for the most part was interesting but I feel like it lacked quite a bit, there wasn't enough to keep it interesting.

it was a satisfying sci fi concept that was executed pretty well. it's better than captain falcon and the winter soldier so far so ig if you're into that you can give this a watch for something that is not boring.

an ostensibly antiwar movie that in the end decides the US is justified in doing endless proxy wars???
