Outside the Wire

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.

A fairly bad movie that feels like it was written by a teenager with no knowledge or life experience.

Anthony Mackie, though unimpressive, did a passable job, whereas I cannot for the life of me understand the casting of Damson Idris, who was fairly bad, having no presence on screen and seemed to be acting on auto pilot.

The writing was atrocious, seemingly trying to convey a message but falling short. The lead is supposed to have 56,000 hours of flight time which is also ridiculous, showing me how bad the writers actually are. 56,000 hours is 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, for over 6 YEARS...

In the end, it is a silly implausible movie that you will forget moments after you watch it.

Not Recommended.

I used to like Netflix films. They had some consistent level of quality...but lately its been terrible with their releases. This film is another example and it disrespects the viewer's IQ.

The story? Full of plot holes, a bit suggestive as well. The acting? Mackie is ok but that other folk needs to rethink his approach to acting. The action and pace? Inconsistent, gets really boring at times. The shooting: Oh they spent all the money there.

If you have nothing else to watch, then this one is a mmmaaayyyybbbbeee... But i can't suggest this to anyone with a mind. 2,5/10 just for some cool fight scenes.

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.

I watched it because the trailer looked cool. I'm a sucker for good action, plus I like watching Anthony Mackie movies. That said, this movie was so blah. Harp, the protagonist, is just so boring to the point of being annoying. Less than half way through and I couldn't stand listening to him talk. There are some good action scenes and CGI work, but the story just sucked and was so cliche. I can't imagine anyone leaving being happy they spent 2 hours of their life watching this movie, but if you need something to pass the time, sure.
