Don't watch this film

Post by RalphCoatesComb » Fri Nov 26, 2021 10:32 am

Watched a film last night that I wish I hadn't. 2 hours of my life that I won't get back :o

Yes, I could have switched off or switched over but I expected it to get better.

Obviously, we all have individual tastes but, do yourself a favour, stay away from RED NOTICE.

Any others that need to be avoided?

I can’t watch anything with Dwayne Johnson in, just can’t take him seriously.
Think he’s one of the highest grossing actors in the world but I still see him as a wrestler whenever I see him in a film

Isn’t it the most watched filmed in Netflix history?

Thought it was alright, standard Dwayne Johnson / Ryan Reynolds film. Didn’t have any great expectations. Easy to watch.

The new Sky series Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol. Love the books but this is a total crock of sh*t.

We made the mistake of watching Army of Thieves. Presumably the main purpose was to set up Army of the dead but it left us with 0 desire to watch the latter. Again, highly rated by Netflix.

The dig is a depressing watch.

The netflix thread needs updating. Haven’t seen it for a while and there were always good recommendations on there.

Netflix kept pushing it and, at a loose end watched it the other week.
It was that engrossing, honestly forgotten now, what it was about.

Watched the first 3 episodes their new series over on Prime, 'Wheel of Time'. The 4th is here now, so will watch that later.
It's ok for a bit of escapism.

It's a 5/10 film to watch when you're hungover. It doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.

Gal Gadot is quite conflicting though. On the one hand she's utterly stunning, on the other hand she's an utterly appalling actor.

Netflix's most watched film apparently.
They haven't released the ratings for it though.

If you are wanting a light hearted none brain taxing romp, it's ok.

Cant think I'd ever watch it again but it was mildly entertaining.

Watched Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer last night. Very, very dark, but well acted in a sort of 80s indie film low budget way. Some uncannily creepy moments.

I watched ‘Trauma Centre’ last night.

Why Bruce Willis signed up for this film I do not know. Suspect he replaced his agent immediately after.

Sometimes the trailer says enough to put me off watching anything. That is the case with all three of those. Thanks for the confirmation.

It doesn't get you off the hook when viewing with others though. I've had the delights of blackhawk down, jeepers creepers, goldmember to tolerate in those circs. All just pathetic. Thank god she doesn't like westerns....

Don’t look up

I wasn’t sure for the first half hour but enjoyed it after that. There is a message in the movie that’s quite obvious as it progresses. Good acting performances all round.

Bruce has been in some low budget stinkers over the last year or two.

Absolutely. It’s designed to make you think and poignantly in line with today’s world.

Pig. Starring Nicholas Cage. Was the worst 30/40 mins of any film I’ve ever seen. Terrible.
