for the record, you have the "crock" a black/Hawaiian playing Kerr who is Purto Rician/Irish. I guess they were only going for the physical "match" and nothing else. I did like that they have UFC fighters playing pivitol roles
I have DL'd both 1080pWEB and 1080PWEBx265, but both DL's are stuck at 99.99% for hours, they will not finish.
Any movie with a Black lead role or a woman is now labelled woke with these whiny male bitches and they bash it real bad. Just watch movies and get your opinion, never depend on these insecure losers
Agreed, nothing better than woke tears - typically accompanies by woke shrieking and waving of handbags.
5.5/10 Watchable movie. The Rock delivers in his acting and is good to see him in a different role than the typical blockbuster movie. The end of the 90s - 2000 era ambient is very well achieve.
The Rock after the heavy makeup does look a bit like Mark Keer & Emily Blunt just doesn't seem to age at all. As for the flick itself, like other Safdie movies, it's filmed almost like a documentary or reality show like. Is it good though? For me it's just average or just a tad below that as it can be boring at times.
Dwayne THE ROCK Johnson truly thinks this is the film that proves he is a "great actor." He's wrong. It's actually a very mediocre film, and his performance is below mediocre. What we witness is a mindless action star giving an "action star" performance, while thinking he's a top tier actor. If it wasn't so sad, it would be laughable. Pass.
There’s unfortunately very little to recommend about this film. The overall execution feels underdeveloped, starting with the cinematography, which lacks visual coherence and fails to enhance the storytelling. The script suffers from pacing issues and underwritten characters, making it difficult to stay engaged or emotionally invested. The dialogue, too, feels unnatural and forced, often pulling the viewer out of the moment rather than drawing them in. While there may have been good intentions behind the project, the result is a disjointed and unconvincing viewing experience. Overall, it’s a disappointing effort that falls short on nearly every level. I’d rate it a 2 out of 10.

Not a bad film. I don't regret watching it. Will not keep in my library or watch again I suppose. I recommend it. 5.5/10
