That's what I'm saying, I couldn't take it no more.

I lost interest because the shit was boring and was too long and it also took to much time for things to happen.

So I didn't get the boring part I was low-key on the edge of my seat like what was gonna happen and it never quite gave me that punch I thought I'd get admittedly. But I was watching it at different times had I did it in one sitting I can see myself possibly getting bored for sure.

I mean see that part is what makes it different but I get what you're saying. I get all the complaints people have. It could've went harder. I went in expecting nothing so maybe that's why I came out a little more positive on it then some.

I had no idea what it was but heard all these great reviews then that trailer was dope. (Reminded me of the Michael b Jordan amazon movie trailer)

I was all in.

they showed way too much in the trailer WAY to much. And it wasn't THAT type of movie

The lead dude got some range. I done seen him in a few movies now I Didn't watch the MLK/Malcolm X so I don't know how good he did in there but yeah I know he's about to be in that new Lion King dude picking some nice roles.

Ahh I see I'm watching the trailer. I see what they did.

The trailer had all the action scenes in it and typically you'd think they'd hold back so had I saw the trailer I'd be expecting much more action. The trailer usually shows a minimal amount.

Trailer sold something that wasn't there.

I wouldn't say boring overall

Slow burn? Too much exposition? Too many lulls? Not enough action? Just too long?

It needed to get to the point if there was going to be so little actual action.

If you want to support the black lead flick go ahead I think tats important. Because I think they deserve another shot.

They HAVE TO UP THE ACTION IN PART TWO.

But yeah, they gotta do better than that.

I thought that was the marine aspect of him.

Reminds me of those old karate movies....them dudes just use to focus on neutralizing people not recklessly killing people. How you kill 100 people and ain't go to jail. :lol:

I feel you and agree 100%.

I mean his cousins was killed, I expected to see at least a couple of deaths. Especially after the cops shot at and shot him.

But I guess they didn't want him to be Rambo :lol:

Seriously...

I wanted them to do more with her character. Because she was able to add some depth in a very difficult role with limited dialog.

Resetting the wifi, the weight of a loaded gun line, that was for me line... was good work.

I agree and I like that it showed even though she was a cop, she was shown to have a good heart and do right and willing to deal with the consequences.

And in the end she showed all the unity with being Black

They went soft on the response from the main character. This was basically a post civil war re-enactment of dead Black people in sun down towns told from the slant of protect white feelings at all cost.

White man served his family member up like a slaughtered animal. With all that training and plotting, not ONE DEAD racist cop? All the cash was bot stolen, repatriated or burned?

He risks it all for a righteous female drug addict and one good white cop?

Man get the fuck out of here with this bullshit.

The lead character was good, but it's an action movie and four hundred dead white cops should have been littered in those woods like a John Wick movie.

I hear you

The trailer lied about the action level

I think they were trying to make it more realistic

But ain't nobody was here for all that.

We finally wanted a Black Reacher cutting down racist cops down south.

It was a good effort editing cinematography even the leads delivery real good.

But it needed that "sauce".

It was like they were holding back.

i think they didn't want to show a black man going on a cop killing spree. But they fucked up the movie.

[COLOR=var(--m3c11)]The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) is a combat system that trains Marines in armed and unarmed combat skills, mental and physical toughness, and the Warrior Ethos. The program is a core part of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and is designed to increase the warfighting capabilities of Marines and units.
[COLOR=var(--m3c11)]Here are some key aspects of the MCMAP: [/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=var(--m3c11)]
  • Training: Marines are trained by Martial Arts Instructors (MAIs), who are specially trained Marines. Training includes physical hardship, interpersonal violence, and frequent exposure to combative techniques and environments.
  • Belt system: Marines demonstrate their proficiency level through the color of belt they wear, similar to other martial arts disciplines. The levels of qualification are tan, gray, green, brown, and black.
  • Martial Arts & Fitness Center of Excellence (MAFCE): The MAFCE coordinates policies, procedures, and standards for the MCMAP.
  • MCMAP MarineNet courses: These courses are designed for educational purposes only and can be used for refresher training.
  • Equipment waivers: Equipment waivers can be requested through the first GO in the chain of command.
  • Training modification or exemption: If MCMAP equipment is not available, training can be modified or exempt.
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=var(--m3c11)]The MCMAP is based on the idea that every Marine is a rifleman and will engage the aggressor from 500 meters to close quarter combat. [/COLOR]

Small Town Troubles

PRAISE: I went into this movie thinking First Blood. You have a character Terry Richmond (Aaron Pierre) with one goal in mind but he's literally hit by a police officer and a lot more trouble follows. But writer/director Jeremy Saulnier wants more from his characters and the viewers of this movie. So of course he gives you the First Blood vibe but he also throws in some Michael Clayton ( one of my favorite films) . This movie is about survival and people. Sometimes that survival is tied to corruption or literally trying to survive a barrage of bullets and Sauliner knows how to give the audience both and does it to a T with every twisty word spoken and every bone that cracks. Pierre is great in this providing all of the intensity and frustration,plus a good dose of raw emotion in very well acted scenes. This has to be matched with an adversary and it's Don Johnson as Chief Sandy Burnne who's as no nonsense as he is corrupt and Johnson is great as Burnne. AnnaSophia Robb is quite good in the movie to as a court clerk named Summer who does her best to help Richmond. I really liked how they fleshed her character out. The supporting cast does well to portraying people that either are turning a deaf ear to the corruption or realizing they do have their limits.

PROBLEMS: As the movie nears it's climax the pacing slowed down a bit and I did wonder why a couple of scenes had to be so drawn out since everything in those scenes had already been explained.

Scale of 1 to 10 an 7½
