Trailer looked horrendous. Mamoa is never a leading man. Mostly because he can’t act, but also why can’t he smarten up and tidy the mess up on his face.
I watched this yesterday and agree with most of what Tom said.
It was a very poorly executed film that clearly didn't know what is was supposed to be. It had characters in it that were there for no reason and ultimately served no purpose.
The plot twist towards the end made absolutely no sense. Although at least it got a bit more exciting after that as before it was deeply, deeply dull.
It would have worked better without Mamoa and just Isabela Merced.
I might just spend a couple of hours looking for navel lint or watch Cats/The Hottie and The Nottie/Movie 43/Glitter/Gigli/Showgirls/Battlefield Earth/Plan 9 from Outer Space instead.
Yup this was indeed very poor , even the ( oh we be very clever ) telegraphed twist did not save it from itself .
It did to little to be regarded as an action piece and way to little to be regarded as a thriller with a strong set of charecters filling the world .
Give this a miss , do yourself a favour and watch Road to Perdition instead , pacing, charecter interaction , storytelling , strong tier of villains . These new films only have to follow a few basic rules ...
its not going into the archives of movie making history for sure but a 3 rating is too harsh imo - it was OK as long as you went in with reasonable expectation levels - maybe a solid 5
I think we should all take a moment to think about the human shields that are Tom and Cas. If not for these guys we might accidentally watch some of this crap. Thank you..... #notallheroeswearcapes.
Almost afraid to say but I kinda sorta enjoyed this mess. The big twist was so dumb it had me grinning for the last 25 minutes of the movie. 5/10 for me.
I can’t comment as it would ruin the film for those who like me are running out of material to watch. 4.9 out of 10, I can’t bring myself to stretch to a 5.
I am so sick of this Netflix pap. I only watch a film on there now if I have read a review that gives it at least half a chance of being watchable. My other half wanted to watch this( I wonder why...) so was forced into it.
Utter utter drivel - it's not even a 3
I genuinely pity reviewers who have to sit through this crap - but am grateful!
This is a great new game Bob. If the reviewers keep their scores off their write-up for a week, in that time we can play a game of higher or lower in the thread until we stick on a score we think they've given
I mean, I kinda think Tom thought it wasn't great too, so that kinda makes me figure you guys agree... but for a number. Does that number really matter?
What it told me was that I should stay clear of this.
Unless I REALLY want to watch it to figure out whether or not I'd have given it a 4 or a 5. Which seems utterly pointless. Like really, definition of pointless.
