Outside the Wire [Movie Review]

Outside the Wire [Movie Review] | Hello 2021. How are ya? I wish that 2021 could be a bit nicer to all of us than 2020 does, but who am I kidding? All we can do is hope for the best for the whole world.

Anyways, with the pandemic is still roaming the entire earth, and now with a new and stronger variant, I don't see myself going to the cinema anytime soon. And the cinemas are also closed - in Malaysia at least. I actually managed to watch 1984 when it released in Malaysia but I decided not review it because I don't like it. (Am I alone on this?)

So, Netflix is the place to be and the first movie that I've watched here in 2021 is Outside the Wire.

Lieutenant Harp, a drone pilot did a controversial action during a mission that causes the loss of two soldiers in the field. His action causes him to be dismissed from his current drone piloting job and he was sent to attend a mission on the field with Captain Leo. 

Captain Leo is a top-secret android officer who is in charge of finding intels about weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and devise a plan to undo the world destruction that might be caused by the WMD. 

Being a stubborn guy, at first Harp finds it quite hard to listen to his android superior - thinking of him only as a machine (ie inferior to him). But little by little, he learns about war and starts to respect Captain Leo with his decision making.

But just as he started trusting Captain Leo, he senses a sinister plot is lurking behind all of Captain Leo's moves.

Will he trust Captain Leo or will he again goes against his better judgement?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 3.8/ 5.0 I guess the plot is OK la - not mediocre but forgettable hahaha. There were some points during the movie that I found myself return to my mobile phone and scrolled away instead of watching it.

Action wise - it packed a lot! With all the machines and the robots doing the shooting, the scenes was nice. At some points, some scenes were kinda a bit disconnected.

Cast: 4.6/ 5.0 The cast played their parts nicely. No comments here. 

Will I watch it again: Perhaps yes, especially when I ran out of movies to watch online. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
