Should be sued for how much he copied Tarantino
18 May 2023
It's rather disgusting watching this movie and realize just how much Jalmari Helander copies Tarantino.

I guess if you're a talentless hack copying someone is all you can do.

Cage is great. Awkwafina is terrible.
4 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This rating would had been two more stars had it not been for that talentless hack Awkwafina (wtf name is that anyway). She constantly plays the same type of character and her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

Cage does great though.

This movie reminds me of my ex girlfriend....
8 April 2023
.....very pretty but SO boring and zero substance.

Adam Driver must have needed a paycheck for another house or had a couple of weeks to waste - this is not the type of performance (and script) that is his best.

The movie looked good...but man, was it ever boring, predictable and ultimately just pretty bad.

Good show apart from Eva Green
26 March 2023
Quite an enjoyable show if it hadn't been for Eva Green and her constant over-acting (and annoying mouth movements). I swear I have no idea how this B gets work as acting is surely not her thing.

Update: watches ep 2 and 3 and wow, this show is going nowhere fast. Terrible acting and plot. No way I will continue watching. Ugh.

Check out great shows like Slow Horses if you're into this genre - this show is a complete mess.

Worst second half of any movie
10 March 2023
This first half of the movie was honestly really good - the concept and execution/build-up had me interested and hooked. I wanted to see more!

If the film had 'ended' there..at the half-point mark I would had given what I'd seen a solid 8/10. Much of it because of the great story/plot/concept.

But...then comes the second half....oh my... The twists and plot now changes to something very confusing, disappointing and near juvenile in writing. Such a shame this could have been a 7-8/10 rated movie for sure. Now...I'll net it down to a 6 - again, the plot is rather ingenious and the acting is really not too bad.

This felt like a rough pre-release copy/draft
2 March 2023
What the heck....this was truly dreadful as far as scenery and sound goes. The vast majority of the shots around the property felt, looked and sounded like a set-design and/or green screen use.

Their voices sounded studio recorded and the grass/outdoor looked absolutely terrible and fake.

Who ever was in charge of the sets and sound recording should be fired.

Give this HORRIBLE production a miss.

SO bad compared to the original, British one
7 February 2023
I have no idea why anyone would watch this rubbish, American version of the British one. NOTHING is better in this version and quite a few things are terribly bad.

Give the US version a miss and check out the vastly superior British one.

What a great action popcorn flick

Almost non-stop suspense, Gerard Butler is amazing as always - this movie is just perfect to pair with some popcorn and a comfy couch. I really enjoyed it

What a gddamn amazing show!

Love just everything about it - it's gritty, violent, real and so well acted and written. Even the kid that plays his daughter is good and I normally frikkn hate child actors.

What a film
14 January 2023
It's hard to put into words how much I truly liked this movie - nay, loved it.

The cinematography, acting, story (as you will) and theme - all came together to make a truly enjoyable viewing experience.

It's one of those few movies that will actually stay with me for a while - something like those inane Marvel movies never will.

10/10. Well done.

The kids/child actors - truly terrible.

The acting - stiff and unrealistic.

The writing - cringe.

Overall a huge disappointment to the point where I couldn't even get past the 10 minutes mark.

Maybe if it hadn't been that scene in the kitchen with the terrible child actors delivering lame lines in a truly poor way. Maybe I could have made it past 10 minutes.... The kids/child actors - truly terrible.

Actually not too bad
27 December 2022
I feel that a lot of the armchair-agents out there are giving this show an unfairly low rating. It's not a documentary for heaven's sake - it's a rather entertaining show set w/in the world of espionage and family drama.

Great acting, action is not bad and the plot is pretty engaging. Sure, you have to suspend your sense of what might be 'real' a bit but it's pretty good escapism for a few hours.

I enjoyed it - probably because I set my expecations.

I'd say a 7/10 is a fair rating for this.

An Ok watch. Annoying kid.
18 December 2022
This was a pretty OK watch. Pacing was a bit slow but no deal-breaker. The kid (played by Emily Alyn Lind) was really annoying and I guess it was no surprise that that actress would grow up and be equally annoying in her other roles.

Give it a watch if you have nothing to do.

This was one heck of a ride.

Absolutely amazing cast and they actually put in their performances - no one phoned it in.

Interesting plot, good acting and performance.

You're out of your gddamn mind if you rate this less than an 8/10.

Was Jamie Lee Curtis always this bad?
16 October 2022
The one thing that really stands out right away is what a truly terrible actress Jamie Lee Curtis is. Wow, if she is not phoning it in she is over-acting like crazy. Quite the achivement. Her 'acting' almost singlehandedly moves the movie down to a B-film level.

The main, young guy was actually ok.

The dumb, young chick was pretty but bland when it comes to acting.

The plot wasn't bad and I think a 3/10 is a fair score for this waste of space project.

I could care less about what he is accused of - this man is a once in a lifetime actor. Another absolutely flawless performance in a movie that he basically carries on his own - what an amazing presence.

Utterly terrible
9 October 2022
I guess it's 'nice' that he managed to get all his friends to come here and give this garbage high ratings - and it's a pretty safe bet as well as there will only ever be a handful of people watching this...'movie'.

Terrible acting, unlikeable main character, poor 'special effects' and boring, predictable plot.

Avoid it.

Here is an actually HONEST rating: 1 star.

Excellent acting and a cautionary tale
7 October 2022
Stephen Graham is excellent as always.

The story is based on true events a few years ago in the UK but the threat of an organized and violent far-right is real in many countries these days including the US.

Aubrey Plaza is as always just 'meh'
18 September 2022
I've never been a fan of Aubrey Plaza - quite the contrary.

I find her being always 'on' annoying especially since she's neither very funny nor original.

She is however in this movie somewhat ok as her normally super annoying personality is subdued a bit.

The movie itself is too slow and a fundamental issue here is that I simply don't care for any of the characters. They are unlikeable, generic and easily forgotten.

I'd give this movie a pass unless you really have nothing to do.

Don't bother
14 September 2022
This is one I would stay clear of - and I say that as a Sci-Fi fan. The plot and writing is truly terrible and lacking in every possible way. The acting is in some parts ok but overall it's just an emotionless mess - as if none of them wanted to be on set.

In the end it turned out to be a highly pointless movie.

4th episode....what a truly awful performance by Alex Rich
13 September 2022
This show has an interesting concept but it is executed SO poorly!

In the 4th episode, the voice from the other side of the door (Alex Rich) is so cringe-bad that it truly ruined any hopes I held for this show. Terrible voice acting and writing. I gave up after this episode.

Huge pass.

Unwatchable
8 September 2022
The writing, directing and acting is absolutely awful here.

The scene in the first episode where the woman is getting ready to head into the hospital and you have, within ONE minute;
  • the high achieving older sister talking about applications,
  • the youngest daughter singing the song she will perform with,
  • the middle daughter being the rebel taking a b&w photo of her cereal bowl with a film camera.


I mean - who WROTE that garbage? Some millennial on an internship?

The next scene or two we have the token gay character.

This was SO SO SO bad!

Woke rubbish
8 September 2022
You know Hollywood has just gone over-woke then they cast a black person to play a Nordic character. I REALLY do wonder how well it would go down if we had a white guy play MLK or if half the tribe in Roots were white actors? No? Well doesn't this race swapping and washing go both ways?

Apart from that - this was by far the worst of all Thor movies and potentially the worst MCU movie of all times. What a terrible burning pile of movie dung it was.

Why Kevin?? Why!?!
2 September 2022
You can tell that this is going to blow w/in the first 5 minutes of the movie. Whoever was responsible for editing and cinematography here really dropped the ball - and/or is straight out of film school. It is SO poorly shot and edited that it's hard to take seriously.

I am scared to see that Kevin Bacon is in this pile.... I really don't want him to go down the road with Bruce Willis and Nick Cage and do any movie that will pay $50 and a free breakfast. Let's hope Kevin did it because he knew someone on the production or because he was stoned out of his mind when he read the script.

This was a truly, truly underwhelming film in every possible regard.
