Outside the Wire

Total crap. Netflix boasts that during the corona time, they will release one film per week, but what use is that to me when they release such crap? The best thing about this film is Emily Beecham, and I will probably have to watch her in a better, more watchable story. There was damn few of her here, and everyone else was kind of unnecessary. The B movie was sewn together, but even today's B movie makers can shoot better action. This pseudo-octane was more like a slap in the face. (01/24/2021)

I wouldn’t flush it down the toilet, it had some potential, but director Mikael Håfström has such a bland an unenergetic style that the film never takes off. But the worst is when a film that never managed to catch your interest starts to throw twists somewhere in the middle that are supposed to fool the viewers and make them feel the film is ahead of them. Did it make sense and did all the pieces fall into place (with regards to the motivations of the characters)? Honestly, I don’t know, probably not, but I don’t want to watch it again to make sure.
