Listen, I knew what to expect going into this film as far as what kind of movie it would be. Statham plays a great bad ass, and good guys (or guy) are fighting bad guys, and it's clear who's who.

But by golly, folks, can we stop pretending that women are hard core police agents and leaders/directors of secret mercenary organizations? It just distracts completely from what I came to watch, it is dishonest and disingenuous, and it's an insult to viewers who just want to enjoy a work of art. For a work if art to have relevance, it HAS to reflect the human experience.

So - will this movie resonate with action thriller chancing movie goers? Yes, it's worth watching on a steaming service, but...will the macho women scenes bother and distract you? Yes...further, they will annoy you.

I wish Emmy Raver-Lampman a great career, but this movie makes it seem like she is just begging for relevance, and it's probably not even her fault... It's the fault of the writers, the casting requirements, etc.

I didn't even mind the dumb dialogue. I came for the action, and I got the action... But it somehow got mixed with visual preaching that women can only be bad asses if they can be like men. Nah...not buying it.

Guys, I play Zombies game modes in Call of Duty. All I could think about while watching this film was my incredible ability to mow down the undead. Tom Cruise and the film overall delivered for exactly what I wanted this movie to be.

I'm used to the old fashioned Mission Impossible Tom Cruise movies - it was fun to watch him play a "weaker" character, and it cracked me up. The relationship tension between him and Jenny (and the constant shouts of desperation to Jenny had quite the funny flashbacks to Forest Gump).

I'd recommend this movie to people that are in for a feel good fun time in a fantasy adventure. Be ready to laugh at the ridiculous and root on the good guys over the bad guys.

The Halbach family must be heartbroken by what this documentary pretends to reveal.

As a viewer, I feel insulted. When this series launched, I was hooked and, in anger, certainly wanted to support the activists for Avery's freedom. Now, especially after "Convicting a Murderer" from Daily Wire +, I feel ashamed at myself for letting my good natured self, and my innocent desire for justice, to be manipulated so easily.

Looking back at how riveted I was to this show before I learned the real truth of this case, I can't help but ask myself: Who else and what else do I let manipulate me so easily? What do I desperately need to change in myself to "discover" the truth rather "assume" the truth? What can I do to allow my rational mind to be stronger than my emotions?

If you are looking for incredible documentary storytelling, sure, this show puts on an amazing story. But that's all it is... It's someone telling a story. If your looking for the truth, well, learn the truth from actual truth tellers rather than just showmen.

I'm at a loss as to how I move forward with Netflix now. Truly. How did this get through the editing room? How was this considered moral? What other Netflix series have the same level of dishonesty and the same goal of manipulating the truth to drive a false narrative?

The immense sadness I feel from this case and from what this show must have done to the real victims is impossible for me to describe accurately at the moment.
