Netflix has done it again - Havoc with Tom Hardy

[iamwhatiseem]

And I don't know who to blame more - Netflix for committing yet another film atrocity, or the greedy movie star that agreed to take the money, knowingly making a piece of crap.

We had little expectations, but with Netflix is it either going to be really good, or really bad. It was really bad.
The opening scene is ridiculous CGI that appeared to be made from a video game editor from 2010. It doesn't even look remotely real. But we endured it.
And that is where it just fell apart after an already bad beginning. The acting and writing is so bad we almost wanted to watch and see how bad it was going to get... a new kind of entertainment.
But we stopped it. I think we watched about 8-9 minutes.

Go ahead and watch the opening car chase scene - it's right out of Grand Theft Auto V.

LOL....It was "turrible, just turrible".

I like Tom Hardy, but I read the out line of the film in some paper and knew I would not like it.

Thanks for confirming.

I just watched it two days ago and if my life depended on it I could not tell you what it was really about.

Too many people making movies today, too much money from the streamers to snare big name talent and produce something unwatchable.

So many choices, and often all of them suck.

Mobland is much better....

There are so many streaming services now, each one of them is competing for the limited amount of excellent content.

You have to sift through a lot of shit to find the diamonds.

The business model is to provide as much content as possible to lure in customers, even if most of it is shit.

The real shame is they often retire a great show or movie to make room for some new stuff that is pure, unadulterated shit.

Maybe it's not about space, and more about licenses probably.

Like you, I can usually tell how much something is going to suck in the first ten minutes.

That's why when I recommend a really good show, I tell people to watch the first ten minutes, and then decide.

Like Happy! A really weird, incredibly good show.

At least the first season. The second season...meh.
