Is this what Damon has sunk to? Of course Damon plays this unsophisticated blue collar American that is kind of fumbling his way around this city in France.

Of course who is daughter was having sex with was sort of injected in a way that really didn't need to be. She was sleeping with a "light skinned Arab" woman and for some reason that is part of why she is being stonewalled?

Then one of the characters was alluding to how he is a bit slow to her friend and she asked him if he voted for Trump. Seriously? Like she wasn't going to help him if he said yes? When is this mental illness going to end??

Super slow burn that doesn't keep you interested. I never cared about what was going to happen next, nor did I get any sort of attachment to anybody, including Damon himself. He was this cliche uncultured American dullard and roughneck, because of course as we all know roughnecks are not smart people. /sarc

Next time you peek into your phone or as you are reading this, thank a roughneck for providing the power to allow you to do this.

Seasons one and two were brilliant. Season 3, trash. Talk about jumping the shark. As soon as I saw what happened to James in the bathroom I knew the rest was going to be tripe. I still kept going because I am a sucker for punishment.

The first thing they did wrong was to kill Paddy off. He was so great and the rest of the people never got a chance to meet him. Not that I remember. They knew of him, but never knew him. His storyline should have been fleshed out a lot more. Instead they chose to go in some bizarre direction changing many things we love about the series.

I would have given this an eight, but the 6 is the best average I can do for a third season that would be a 3 at best. I don't follow behind the scenes stuff, but did they get new writers? I seems like it.

Daryl is a clumsy one man army yet he still somehow has 999 lives. The writing is very bland. The usual "deep" quips from Daryl. You would think the character would clean up once in a while. The bad boy image is spent now.

Then there is this kid that is supposed to be the Messiah simply because he was born as his mom was turning into a walker

Then the geography. So they are in France and all they can find are medieval weapons? Where are they getting dry black powder and the musket balls? The way some people have antiquated weapons and some have modern ones is just bizarre.

Then of course, we have raves and class A drugs now and it seems like everybody is lighting up a joint. Just randomly. Just cringy to see. How "progressive".

Pay attention to the high ratings. It's all bots and fandom being pushed to the top. Look at how positive they are. People saying this is changing their life, people saying they can't stop thinking about it, etc. Lol Get lost, bots.

Remember the days when you could come to IMDB and get accurate ratings and actually discuss the shows and movies with like minded people? Gone forever.

I made it thru ep 3. I got AMC+ just to see how this was. Five mins before coming to IMDB I canceled it. I used to live on IMDB. Now I rarely visit. My suggestion would be to cancel everything, read books instead and go outside and touch grass.

Standard Chris Rock fare. A lot of eff bombs, a lot of talking about his private parts and the private parts of others. He also mentions that he hadn't cried about being slapped by Will Smith by going on Oprah, Gayley, etc. But, he did. The last ten minutes of this special was just him crying about it and had very little humor.

This new character limit for reviews is so annoying. You can give plenty of detail in less.

Anyway, in closing, it started out somewhat strong but got redundant fast. I won't likely be recommending this to anybody. He got his 40 million, so I guess that is all that matters. There should be a requirement where comedians don't get paid until Netflix sees how it does. Wasn't worth 40 million. I think Rock had his heyday, and it's over.

I knew it wasn't going to be worth watching as soon as I heard several onboard the sub calling it a "ship". A submarine is never called a "ship". It's a boat. Then there are the sailors with longish hair and not even using proper naval terminology. I mean didn't they have an advisor to make sure these basics were correct? I'm ex navy and of course that is going to drive me bananas. The thing is tho, people that are not navy know that submarines are not called ships.

It's like a boat full of untrained undisciplined hippies.

I could drone on and on but pretty much everything that is wrong about this has been said. It makes no sense at all. I am gobsmacked at the 7.3 rating. This is actually pretty high. After reading a comment or two I noticed some people say they gave it a 10/10 just to offset the bad reviews. Not very honest. Pushing up the ranking for no other reason than to snub legit gripes. So basically making it rank much higher than it deserved. I am sure there are people that get paid to inflate rankings now since movies aren't good enough to get high marks based on their own merits.

Hard pass. Wasn't even a fun action movie. Read the negative reviews, those people aren't lying. Do better if you want to earn my attention for an hour or two.

I was already in the navy for a few years and had gone down on a sub for several hours but I can tell you at that time I decided I could never serve on one. Being on the surface and not below it is where I was most comfortable.

Anyway, Penhorn Mall in Dartmouth Nova Scotia had several theatres and three of them were playing this movie on opening night. I remember the line went from one end of the mall to the other.

I have no real review to insert here but I will say this is a must see movie with an all star well selected cast.

My dad served for thirty years in the RCN also. Rest in peace, dad.

It baffles me how when in situations like this groups don't stick together as a whole. Even if one person needs to use the bathroom they should all follow and watch that person. Splitting up into pairs doesn't even make sense. Just needs to be one in that pair and suddenly they will both be the organism and nobody is the wiser. But then, you couldn't have a movie without these sorts of ill thought out "strategies".

My second gripe is that they figured out what this thing was doing way too soon.

I saw the original in 82. By comparison this wasn't as good, but it's still a good sci-fi horror flick worth at least one watch.

Thank you, Hollie, for introducing me to this movie and the soundtrack. So many great memories attached to this movie and the music. To everybody else, regardless of age, watch it. We're all Max.

The movie was amazing and everybody was solid in their roles. Let's face it, Will Smith really hasn't pumped out any duds. My only issue is that the movie never touches on how Williams deserted his first family and basically ghosted them so that he could live vicariously thru Venus and Serena while they were basically destitute. So was he a "King"? No, not really. I wish they would have had the courage to touch on that part a bit.

No spoilers here, but what is kind of odd is how Pagans mock Christians for their belief in God, yet pagans have gods also. So what's the difference? At least Christians have only one God, while Pagans have many. So they are even more religious and they rely on their gods the same way the Christians do. They have seers that toss runes not unlike how Christians have rituals such as prayer. This isn't a major gripe but it's sort of an ongoing theme in the series.

Rasmus? Rasmus?? Rasmus! RASMUS!! Rasmus. Rasmus?! RASMUS. Rasmus?!? RASMUS? RASMUS! Rasmus. RASMUS! Did I mention Rasmus, yet? Rasmus! Rasmus?? RASMUS!

From the get-go you could see that Lipstadt was very envious of the media coverage Irving was getting. She was desperate for that attention and clearly she wanted it to be about her. Even in real life when she speaks you can tell this is how she wants and wanted it. Then there are moments where they are discussing atrocities, murders, etc, and instead of saying "The nazis did", or "the SS did", it seemed almost as if the director wanted to malign the German people because instead the characters often said, "The Germans did" when referring to such grotesque incidents.

Then there was Listadts first appearance in court. Completely disrespectful of British jurisprudence when she refused to do a simple bow because "I'm an American". This is why she wouldn't bow. I normally love Rachel but her character was one dimensional and she overplayed the part and was very poorly prepared. Her arguments were a lot of "he said she said" while Irving's were well researched, cited and sourced. The rest of the cast was brilliant. While I only gave it a mediocre rating I can still recommend it as a single viewing movie.

Yea, sure it's a movie and it's not real life, but there are things that simply would not happen. The father would have immediately rushed his girlfriend after she pulled the trigger and he definitely would not have held the gun as it was pointed at his face and be like, "Feel these hands, they are real...". No, he would have brushed it to the side to it was pointing elsewhere. Such bad nonsensical writing. I am sure they only hired Silverstone to get an audience.

The presupposition that he was a "low IQ aircraft mechanic" is only a theory a team of empty pretentious government suits could put forth. To this day that is what still inhibits the FBI. They are merely drones but they think they are the queen. They can't think outside of their cubicles or beyond their degrees. They assume that an Einstein or Tesla clone would be teaching at a nuclear physics lab simply because they can. They can't fathom that maybe the most brilliant people that currently exist in the world right now could be some person working at a local cafe serving you your morning coffee, or a recluse unknown to anyone, or a car mechanic and the reasons they do these things are not because those are their only options, but because they are places they want to work at, places they choose. Places where they can experience authentic human interactions. They are happy because they are not the automatons and droids that the FBI agents(But think everyone else are the droids) are, they are doing what they want to do, and earning only what they need. They are happier than people that try to compete with everybody else. Profilers presuppose so much that turns out to be so inaccurate. Profilers really don't understand people, not everything is about data and forensics. Never assume anything, expect everything and nothing at the same time. Sun Tzu understood this.

One of the agents used the "to a hammer everything looks like a nail" analogy. Ironically the FBI itself is guilty of this mindset also except to the FBI everyone that LOOKS like a criminal is a criminal.

Didn't make sense how Cortez would spend all of that time, money, resources, manpower, etc, to jump a ravine when all he needed was to have a chopper waiting for him somewhere to fly him to Mexico.

Terrifying because I know that feeling. Not exactly what he felt, but thinking you are going to drown at depth. I did a panic swim to the surface. Luckily I was only 30 feet down. Had some blood come out of my nose into my mask but fortunately nothing serious. Worth a watch. Can recommend highly.

My nitpicks aren't due to the fact that it's science fiction and of course many things are unbelievable. They are regarding the basics. How could they possibly know a door would open every 18 hours? The objects were only there two days so how could they know this for sure? So the US military originally needed an American civilian to translate Farsi, a language as common and widely used as Arabic? They couldn't find a Syrian, an Iraqi, an Iranian, etc? A native speaker would have been much better because they would understand more nuance of the language. Doesn't the military have linguists or smart people? Then these civilians just roll up their sleeves for some weird booster from the military even though they have no idea what is even going on yet and get the boosters without even seeing if they experienced side effects before embarking on their task and putting one of those suits on? Why would they even enter one of these things without more information? So the very first time they saw a hole open they just barge in with reckless abandon and already had the gravity thing figured out? That would mean they figured it out the very first time they entered. They also needed her to translate Mandarin to understand what the Chinese military was saying, a language that is spoken by billions? Anybody could have translated that. I am sure other people there knew some Mandarin, or they could have just made a call and played the Mandarin over the phone to any Chinese person. So many little things like this that ruined the movie for me. I get that you suspend belief, but these were basic things that would never make sense. Abbott and Costello looked like the back of a hand. Is that the best they could do?

Pacing was pretty good. It had a few nice twists and who can resist a movie with Bruno Ganz? Only thing that didn't make sense(besides the goofs listed) were the police motorcycles driving in snow and ice outside of the hotel. Yea, that is not possible unless the tyres were studded with spikes and the officers bundled up properly. That's not something that would happen. Would be automobiles only in winter. I think the snow and ice was fake and it may have been an oversight using motorbikes.

Can we not have that in every new film?? Black people are not more likely to be shot during police interactions than any other race. In fact this narrative is total rubbish. Why can't a movie just be a movie? The casting also felt like a quota cast. Pity roles. Patronizing. The two kids should have been mixed also since the husband was white and the wife was black. At one point the wife says, "If that were one of your two black kids...". Seriously? Why indicate their race? The line should have simply been, "If that had been one of your two kids...". It just felt awkward how they were presented. They did a decent job but they didn't really mesh with each other. Ruth's demeanor was annoying. Always brooding. She spent twenty years in the can. She wouldn't still be moping about lamenting her past. That would have been addressed within the first few years of her incarceration via therapy, self reflection and group sessions. She likely wouldn't even be released in that unstable state of mind normally. I felt no connection to her. None. She was nothing more than cardboard cutout for me.

Not even a good cheesy action flick. It felt like the cast phoned their roles in and didn't put any heart into any of their lines. The action wasn't even good. You don't expect profound characters from Wahlberg but this was just bad. I can't recommend this.

Served during Desert Storm back in 90/91. Also used to live on CFB Shilo where some of this was filmed, which is a Canadian army based in Manitoba. Great movie, soldiers weren't always the heroes. Very realistic. While I did serve myself I never saw combat. Was a unique role for Gross and I wasn't expecting him to pull it off, but he did it beautifully.

Plenty of action, strong believable performances by all. Unexpected twist at the end. Only glaring issue I have with it is that no police unit is going to initiate a heavy arms fight while they have dozens of cars filled with civilians between themselves and the bad guys and there were no civ casualties? Would never happen. Still, great movie. Can recommend.

I grinded my way thru season one and can't bother to suffer thru season 2. It's always trying to proclaim how progressive it is. Business people are "evil right wing capitalists". The gay sex is fine, but the way they transition to it is just awkward and deliberate. You're watching a family orientated scene and suddenly next scene is some federal agent receiving paid oral sex from another man and ultimately that man consumes the end product. Many of the white people are textbook trailer trash types that kill their own family, call American Indians "injuns" and all South Americans, "Mexicans". People stare when a gay couple kiss each other in a diner when they meet up. Yea, okay, that happens still. *eye roll* Obama is mentioned multiple times to kind of show exactly which American party the show supports. The show is just trying so hard. Flexing. Proclaiming how "progressive" it is. It feels forced and it doesn't seem like they are progressive at all. Seems like the progressive moments are merely props. "Hey, see what we did??". Nothing fits naturally. Then there is the violence and the fact everybody seems to just open up to anybody, even people they don't know, about what crimes they are up to, and who they are committing them with. The only reason I gave it a 5 was for the acting. Then the global warming messages and lectures are in there. Yea, okay, enough, we KNOW about all of these things. Stop inserting it as if the viewers are idiots and are not aware of the issues that are all around us. Like the directors and producers are better than us and know what's best for us. Can't stomach the constant lecturing and pandering. Going to pass on the rest.

This movie contains everything a good production must have. Excellent pacing. Solid action and suspense. Good character development and bonding. Sad that 19 men died so that we could enjoy such an excellent story about their heroism. Rest in peace, lads, and thank you for the sacrifice their families make so that men like this can do what they do.
