Predictable and unoriginal
This has been on my Amazon watch list for quite some time, and I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed. For a cop action type thriller it's not bad, but nothing special.

Chadwick Boseman is probably the main selling point in this and for me it was nice to see him in something that wasn't Marvel. The rest of the cast though are either poor (Sienna Miller) or drastically underused (JK Simmons). The main problem with this film is the plot. From the cliched opening scenes to the final act, the majority of it was just so predictable, mostly because its nothing we haven't seen before. And despite their best efforts, you don't end up feeling very much for the two criminals. It's not the worst film I've ever seen but nor is it the best. Vaguely entertaining for 90 minutes but sadly not particularly memorable.

Poor editing for the fight scenes
Another rehash of old plots
Spotted this new Netflix film and it looked OK from the trailer. A drone pilot is sent to the front line after disobeying an order. He soon realises he is paired up with a top secret enhanced AI super soldier on a shady mission.
The action scenes are not too bad, apart from the fight editing which was very choppy. Obviously spent a lot of money on the budget. The robotic soldiers took similar to another Netflix film @Code 8 (2019) and the battle scenes are decent. As the film moves on to the final act it's like a pick n mix of many other films including the Terminator amongst others.
Worth a watch for action fans but nothing particularly original or outstanding here. Complete with Marvel in jokes.
