Outside the Wire (2021)

Outside the Wire briefly proves it isn’t quite as dumb as it seemed by touching upon some interesting sci-fi ideas. Seconds later, it resumes its familiar course. Movies like this practically come off an assembly line.

In 2036, a civil war in Ukraine leads the United States to send soldiers - both robotic and human - to intervene. As punishment for disobeying an order, 1st Lt. Harp (Damson Idris) is sent to the front lines. He’s been hand-picked by Captain Leo (Anthony Mackie) to find terrorist Victor Koval (Pilou Asbæk) before the madman gets his hands on nuclear launch codes. What Harp doesn’t realize is that Leo is no ordinary soldier.

I can see some audiences enjoying this one because it will remind them of RoboCop, Training Day, The Terminator, and others. It even has some twists and turns didn’t see coming. After a missile Harp deploys kills 2 Marines, he’s to be taught a lesson by Leo - an experimental android. He'll learn what it’s like to be on the ground while bullets are flying, what it means to look into someone's eyes as you kill them (kind of; he still uses a gun). Considering this mission’s failure could lead to a nuclear holocaust Leo must have A LOT of faith in this rookie. Or maybe his programming is faulty. Is the man who was comfortable blasting human beings from orbit and feels no remorse about it less human than the artificial one? Are Leo's emotions and ability to follow "hunches" features, or glitches? The movie poses these questions and then barely consider them.

Theoretically, this movie has some interesting things to say but it fails to follow through on any of them as Leo and Harp search for Koval. It’s a catastrophic mistake because this plot? It's bland. The movie’s pitch must’ve been something like "Blah Blah Blah Nuclear Launch codes. Blah Blah Blah Russian terrorist." "Oh! But there’s an experienced robot investigating the thing with his rookie human partner!"

To be fair, several of the seemingly idiotic decisions made throughout are explained. There’s a reason why the rookie with no experience who's rattled by the sound of gunfire has been selected by Leo. This doesn’t mean you like him. What he learns still feels unearned. The movie tries hard to make you think about big war-related moral quandaries. You won’t.

If Outside the Wire was fully committed to even just one of its concepts, it could’ve been something. Governments are debating killer AI right now. There are grey areas when it comes to drone strikes. To compensate for a lack of substance, we get a bunch of generic action scenes. Most are shot so frenetically it’s hard to tell what’s going on. Outside the Wire isn’t well-executed and it isn’t a complete mess either. You won’t hate it but you will forget all about it as soon as the credits roll. (January 26, 2020)

Repost from @dcu_direct • BREAKING: #GameOfThrones actor #PilouAsbaek has reportedly joined the cast of #Aquaman2! https://www.instagram.com/p/CNs6cH3D5ti/?igshid=17yo94ajw0vq9

Tras una decisión fatal, un piloto de drones provoca la muerte de soldados americanos. Este es enviado a otra base donde conocerá a su oficial jefe: un prototipo de androide. Juntos deberán detener a un fanático con acceso a misiles nucleares. Con un comienzo prometedor, un desarrollo más que aceptable, quizá pierde algo de empuje en el final. El personaje de piloto de drones, es dificil de creer por su aptitud. Recomendable , se pasa un buen rato. #Películas2021 #ADescubierto #AnthonyMackie #DamsonIdris #EmilyBeecham #KristinaTonteriYoung #PilouAsbaek #MichaelKelly #BobbyLockwood #NickWittman #Action #SciFiction #Acción #CienciaFicción #MikaelHafstrom #War #Nuclear #Androide #Soldier #Dron #Netflix #OutasideTheWire ######### https://www.instagram.com/p/CMktgotnBDw/?igshid=7tzl2izdx0so

GHOST IN THE SHELL / A VIGILANTE DO AMANHÃ 2017 - 107 min Drama/Crime/Ação Diretor: Rupert Sanders Elenco: Scarlett Johansson/Pilou Asbaek/Takeshi Kitano Major Matoko é uma agente. Modificada e quase nada mais humana. Uma ciborgue. Ela faz parte de um esquadrão secreto. Chamado Seção 9. Esquadrão contra ciberterrorismo. E que persegue um hacker. O Mestre dos Fantoches. Basicamente um remake. Do anime de 1995. Vide a crítica anterior. Diretor prefere mais ação. Menos sangue. E menos filosofia. Fez escolhas diferentes. E pra mim, erradas. Para alcançar outros públicos. A conclusão é dada. Não precisa refletir. Você não precisa pensar. Tá mastigado. Filme de ação é assim. Personagem ocidental. Branca e conhecida. Serve para atrair mais pessoas. Como sempre. Opcão de ter bilheteria. Oposto de ter qualidade. Não concordo. Pois o filme seria elogiado. Se fosse mais parecido com o original. Mesmo tendo atores orientais. E rendeu até protestos de “Whitewashing”. Não assistir esse filme não fará falta. Roteiro pior. Adaptado para que a nova história. Continue tendo cenas clássicas do anime. Diretor não fez nada para provar ser bom. Nada a comentar dele ainda. Para elogiar. Os cenários ótimos. Excelentes cenas de ação. Efeitos especiais idem. O visual é lindo e funciona. As cenas clássicas estão aqui. Parabéns. Mas o contexto é outro. Totalmente diferente. Uma pena. O pior. Muito poucas externas. E no anime a cidade era importante. Praticamente uma personagem. Aqui foi deixada de lado. Servindo apenas de passagem. Muitas cenas no escuro. Tô ficando de saco cheio disso. E isso significa melhores efeitos. Pois esconde possíveis falhas.  Façam batalhas e lutas diurnas. Duvido. Uma cena na boate. Simplesmente ridícula. Usaram muito 3d. Bem feito sim. Mas me parece por ser mais prático. Prático e moderno sendo 3d. Facilitando sobrevoos. Apenas isso.. E o vilão. Fala sério. Um absurdo. Se você ver o filme antes antes do anime. Acredito que curta mais. Eu vi ao contrário. Eu vi antes o anime, o original. E no meu caso não gostei tanto desse. Podem mudar. Mas que mudem direito. Hollywood mais uma vez. Acabando com coisas clássicas.

Bit of a mess up with my card. My previous tickets were found to be fraudulent even though I called and said they weren’t. I had bought most of them during a sale and was told there wouldn’t be another so I was super bummed thinking I’d have to spend more for the same tickets. Got everything refunded but it all worked out because I was able to get the Drogon pass that was sold out then! Includes solo ops and autos for everyone but Pilou, Nikolaj, and Iwan. All I have left to purchase is Pilou’s op and auto and the Greyjoy Family op. :) Come on August! I’m so excited! 🙃 . . . #AMMD #AllMenMustDie #GoT #GameofThrones #Paris #ConLife #PilouAsbaek #IwanRheon #NikolajCosterWaldau #GemmaWhelan #NathalieEmmanuel #AlfieAllen #JoeDempsie #LainGlen #IsaacHempsteadWright #HouseGreyjoy #HouseLannister #HouseStark #HouseMormont #HouseBaratheon #HouseBolton #WinterisComing (at Paris, France)
