Home alone last night and watched this. I'm a sucker for Halie Berry......


Anyway, it's a decent attempt at an action flick. Think I liked Red Notice better than this one. Both had a little too much unbelievable super woman from the lead. Again, I love Halie Berry, but she was basically Jason Bourne in this movie.

They ended it with plenty of room for a sequel.

It was fine. Made no sense, but none of these Netflix action movies do. Just grab some guy and make him a secret agent? Sure, whatever. Perfectly reasonable way to pass a couple hours, though, if you like Marky Mark and Halle Berry.

It's a mindless, action, shoot-em up (aren't they all). Some funny lines.

Wanted to see more of Halle Berry's real assets, but they kept them mostly hidden.

J.K Simmons has the best lines. He basically made his State Farm commercials character into an intelligence bureau chief.

I enjoyed it. Good popcorn Netflix original.

J.K. Simmons and H.Berry are solid as usual.

Pretty much spot on. I’ve seen movies where they put a lot more into it they weren’t nearly as enjoyable.

Took us half the movie to figure out what was going on and then realized it really wasn't worth it. Not Mark Walberg's best. MINDLESS waste of time.

I couldn't sleep the other night, so I watched it. It's really not a good movie. But I guess it wasn't really trying to be, so it gets a pass. It was watchable. Just kind of a ridiculous concept. Halle Berry is Halle Berry though, so it's got that.

Exactly this. Nothing earth shattering, some pretty unbelievable things happen just in the premise alone. Think of it as an 80s action flick and relax with a drink & some popcorn and you shouldn't be mad that you watched.

Needed more JK Simmons
Needed less of Halle Berry's clothes. She's still so smoking in real life, but they did not do her any favors at all in this movie in hair, makeup or wardrobe.

Spoilers. Way too much Hallie's ex, shite got really stupid after he showed up. Same old MW from way too many of his prior movies, especially the one with his family in the van trip. Need to start making some of these types of movies way more gritty.

Will get downvoted but turned this snoozefest off after 30 minutes.

Is this what Walhberg is down to
It’s like he’s been the same person in these Netflix movies with some old hot actress and assassins after him
