Outside the Wire

It is a cool movie, and even the concept is cool... But you never get to feel for the characters, so you are not really invested in the story, on top of that there is a general lack of motivation through out the movie.

Robots in action were cool.

Otherwise, it was just a funny piece. Black native Ukrainians speaking American English to black American soldiers. I am not even going into all the mess with scenery and language. Those are understood.

The main character is completely out of sync with his role and supposed mentality. Army officers behave like teenage campers. Combat scenes so flawed that it's apparent even to a civilian like me.

So you can watch it if you got nothing else to do. With a bottle of beer or a glass of whiskey. Not a genuine cinematic experience. Don't expect too much.

Pros: Anthony Mackie is a very good actor and possesses a screen presence. Several of the action scenes are engaging.

Cons: Everything else Protagonist acting is way off. It is the Kneau Reeves/Kristen Stewart off. Writing is a step beyond high school, with dialogue that is laughable. Logic is nonsensical, where people walking and people driving a car very fast are reaching the same destination at the same time(and they both left the same time). Plot is early James Bond level of over the top. Editing is patched together so loosely that you barely realize what is going on Lastly, there appears to be no security at military bases, villian hideouts, billion dollar laboratories.

56,000 hours divided by 8 hours a day equal 7,000 days without a single day off. 7,000 days divided by 365 days a year equals 19 years without a day off.

They kid said he'd been in the military 3 years. Haha wow

It's either an insult to my intelligence or Betflix purposely tried to make these guys dumb as a bag of rock which if they did, shame on them and the director.

Great acting and great special affects but dumb stale overplayed story line.

Yet again one of the USA saves the day against USSR films, so old and cliche, worn out. But even worse the dude has 56000 flight hours, and even worse than that dude is called what, the terror of the Balkans? Last time I checked Balkans was still 1000km away from Ukraine.
