Seriously, why do all Netflix action movies suck? Their shows and documentaries are great but save for "The Killer", this was another dud.
The few positives: Hardy is, well, Tom Hardy. This time with a kind of NYC accent. His physical scenes are convincing. The city--which I don't think is named--does have a run-down, almost Blade Runner type look. Some of the cinematography is really well done.
The woman who plays Hardy's "partner" is appealing.
Otherwise this is a relentless, grim assault of nonstop killing and car chases, like John Wick on adderall. Super grim. Unpleasant. There's no laughs, and after a while when you see even sympathetic characters getting blown away, it's just... grim.
If you want to see a GOOD movie about rogue cops who turn on another cop, that has suspense out the ass and great character development, watch "Witness" with Harrison Ford from the 80s.
This was just... not good.

I didn't even realize that this reboot of the series existed--now I know why I never saw it back then.
First, the (little) good news: the one fun thing about this series is that it's a virtual parade of 90s TV and movies stars--some who were huge then, some who are huge now, some who were always big. That's fun.
Forrest Whitaker also does a good job of doing the Rod Serling role, with his own spin on it. The first episode was well-done and appropriately creepy, even if the plot line was something you've seen before.
Everything else, though, is off. Honestly, a lot of these feel exactly like X-Files one-off episodes, either from the filmed look of them to the fact that a) Mark Snow is doing the score and it sounds exactly like the X-Files or b) it's filmed primary in Northwest Canada, so there's usually a cloudy, gray backdrop.
What the show lacks is... tone. There's often nothing creepy or mysterious or paranormal-feeling to the episodes, which play out more as short stories about something that was different, but not exactly spooky.
Even the couple of episodes meant to be funny fall flat--unlike the classic X-Files episodes where they managed to blend surreal and comedy effortlessly.
I won't knock the CGI since it was only 2002 or before, but the show just looks like some early 2000s show that you forgot about--nothing special about the sets, cinematography or atmosphere. Episodes meant to show social commentary--like the one featuring a rapper--never quite land.
It's like somebody just remade the classic series thinking all it needed was a 2000s update with current guest stars and the rest will take care of itself. It doesn't. Just being honest.
