Ben Afflick is hit or miss in his roles, but I think the casting is perfect in this one.

Also, glad Netflix picked this one up! They need more big movies like this.

Wait, which guy is gay? Where's the token _____ guy (insert race here) or the snarky anti-Trump sentiment? Somehow they made this movie 20 years ago...

It does look good. I also agree, too often film makers feel they need to force a diverse cast instead of allowing it to happen organically. If your are filming a movie that needs a diverse cast then great, but to force it just to keep from hurting peoples feelings is just annoying and smoke up the butt bs.

Definitely looks good. I like the casting, and the abundance of action.

I am really appreciating more focus films are putting on actual gun play and portraying the skillset and tactics somewhat properly in a lot of new movies. I think Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves started ot with films like Collateral and John Wick and everyone has caught onto the importance of it in film and avoiding the full auto spray and pray from the 80s and 90s action movies.

Was kinda waiting for someone to chime in about this movie. It keeps popping up on my Fire tv home screen but I'm on the fence.

It's worth a watch but my impression is that it is nothing new. Feels like they took a bunch of pieces from other like movies and cropped them together to make this one. The cast is all likeable characters, except for probably Afleck, but it just didnt really come together like a really great movie would. I dont know how to explain it. Definitely worth watching at least once though.

I watched it. Good, not great. Worth the price since it’s included with your Netflix subscription.

End came, “is that it?”, credits rolled, went about my business indifferently.

“Shock scene” seemed written in to make movie more emotionally gripping than what it was. Character depth was shallow and self-conflicting at times.

Would I watch it again? Probably not.

Do I regret watching it? Probably not.

I'd agree with that.

Started watching it the other night. Only 30 minutes into it though so far.
