This is an action film that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s full of over the top action and lots of off the cuff quips and humour, I’ll readily admit to chuckling quite a lot watching this and this is mainly due to Ryan Reynolds. The rest of the cast are alright, but if it wasn’t Reynolds then this probably wouldn’t have worked very well. The film itself looks good, right from the opening scenes in Florence - I’m a little shocked they managed to get away with filming those scenes in such a historical and old school city, but it was definitely the real place as they couldn’t fake sets that look that identical to the real place! And yes this is a Michael Bay film and you can tell from some of the action and hilariously over the top deaths, but I actually thought that in comparison with some of his earlier films, this is fairly understated for Michael Bay. I do think this drags a little in places (in between the action scenes) and gets a little convoluted at the beginning with the differing time frames, but overall this is a fairly decent action film from Netflix for a change.

Summer, 1998.
There was 2 films with the same premise of an asteroid (or is it a meteor? I think it's an asteroid, until it enters atmosphere) heading towards earth, with the potential to wipe out mankind. Those films were Deep Impact, and this one.
In one film, parts of the asteroid hit. In the other, the last-ditch mission is a success.
I'll let you watch to see which is which.
But, as a bit of a clue, this is the one directed by Michael Bay which, at least among my circle of friends, and is the one most associated with the phrase 'total Bayhem'.

The Plot: In this remake of the horror classic, a group of young travelers -- including Erin (Jessica Biel), Andy (Mike Vogel) and Morgan (Jonathan Tucker) -- comes across an isolated rural home while driving through Texas. Unfortunately for them, the decrepit house is the residence of a family of deranged backwoods killers, most notably a hulking masked brute known as Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski), who begins to hunt the stranded youths down. Will any of the friends survive the nightmarish ordeal?
Yes this is the first Platinum Dune's horror remakes. Thnkz Michael Bay.
Anyways I do reccordmend watching this film.
