    The sword being the first thing shown and then the cars later were so on the nose! :D

    Also checked the wikipedia because some scenes looked Irish cliffs and maybe Dublin flats.. but it says Cardiff and Scotland in the production section so I'm guessing that's where they came from.

    Man, Antoine Fuqua became a real gun for hire after Training Day. I believe himself and Wahlberg are a little miffed with Paramount dropping this on digital, presumably cos it messes with their contractual earnings.

    Film itself looks like it might be fun but I hate Wahlberg as a lead, let alone some immortal being.

    I can't say that any Wahlberg film comes to mind as "That's the one that Wahlberg carried all by himself". I have more of a makes-a-strong-team memory

    I suppose he's the lead of the Transformer movies now, but that's hardly a good yardstick. He's best used in an ensemble like The Departed, or partner to someone else like The Other Guys. He just doesn't have the charisma or X Factor to pull a film, let alone one where he's supposed to be this immortal warrior type.

    I thought Wahlberg was really good in The Gambler and carried the film well. Probably the only time I have been impressed with him in a lead role and didn't spend the whole movie wishing they had cast someone else.

    Know him mainly from the 'Ted' movies.

    Not immortal but reincarnated, and future incarnation as 'Steve Austin' in
    The Six Billion Dollar Man
    Plot unknown. Feature film based on the popular '70s TV series "The Six Million Dollar Man".

    Yeah, I just don't buy Marky as the heroic action lead.

    Quite a “Jumper” feel to it.

    A total mess of a film.

    It feels like a bit like Wanted and was made to create a Universe to make sequels instead of focusing on just making a decent movie first.

    These days I can't read a greater turn-off for any given movie than "trying to set-up the sequels"

    No its not.

    It was scheduled to be alright but instead they have "Star Trek 2009" on instead lol. Either someone fu-cked up or its a great way to get new fans into Star Trek lol.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Man, what a weird thread bump for a pretty terrible movie that, IIRC, was dumped on streaming.

    Ms


    That's OK. Was going to watch it myself but Star Trek 09 was on instead and I was like your allright. No thanks.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I thought it was pretty soon for network TV premiere which is why I updated thread with a bump



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 35,941 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Odd choice all the same, for a movie that by all accounts doesn't exist for all the impact it left on the world, or reception it got from the 12 people who watched endured it 😂

    Though when I saw the thread in my bookmarks I did despair initially, thinking there was talk of a sequel lol 🤣 so thank god it wasn't that.
