Interceptor (2022)

I know Netflix has lost a huge chunk of it's net worth. And it shows in this woke "masterpiece".

It feels cheap. It looks cheap. It sounds cheap.

And it's Netflix's success formula. Bad guys. White. Most of them men. The traitor speaks with a southern accent.

Halfway through, it just wasn't bearable anymore.

Fmovies: I've missed the stupid action hero's of the 80s & 90. It disengage my brain for 1hr 30 mins and that what I need at the moment.

Acting was dreadful but it fit the genre and reminded me of the straight to video movies you took a punt on for a Friday night.

This is like a badly written story that's had a satire made about it and then a movie made about the satire but unironically.

Every line is cheese and a joke but acted "seriously"

The movie is so substandard that anyone involved should be ashamed. Especially Chris Hemsworth.

Interceptor fmovies. Save yourselves, and pass on this complete piece of trash.

The acting is so so bad, the plot, script, all of it is just so so terrible.

Netflix, for this I paid an increase?

So close to cancelling my subscription.

Do not see this. If you've ever been in the military, whether as a grunt or an officer, you will see the numerous errors made by this writer/director. He tried to make a decent film but he failed, big time.

I can understand why some people don't like the movie, as it was a cheesy and generic flick for sure, but not sure if I can understand the many upset 1/10 reviews from people who seem to have taken this personally somehow. All those reviews read exactly like metacritic review bombs where people are upset over something else than the content they're reviewing... or just rants from people who love exaggerating for drama.

This reminded me of some straight to VHS average action flicks that you'd pick up from the rental place completely deliberately for that day where you just want a mindless movie and as such, it worked very well. Did I laugh and roll my eyes at convenient plotpoint? Sure. But I also expected to.

I kinda liked seeing a female lead for once. Just like male leads powers are always played way up and how John McLane can still run and kick ass after being battered and bruised beyond any reason, just flying away from explosions instead of exploDING, so did she. If your suspension of disbelief fails only on the part of her being a woman, I guess you truely have it ingrained in you that "women = weak" and can't even for a moment tune that out in a silly action flick.

This kinda reminded me of some "Tomb Raider" kind of deal, with the exception that I actually enjoyed this more than any Tomb Raider movie.

If you are "tired of feeling like my identity is always attacked by films such as this.", that is just sad. There have been crazy egomaniac villains that have agendas like this in movies for a small eternity and obviously the movie's not saying he's right.

If you are very keen on only seeing agendas in women being shown as anything capable, do yourself a favor and skip it. If you're looking for a generic action flick for a mindless day? Sure, why not :)
