Seems like the typical Netflix movie which has a good premise, starts off soild but loses its way and has a shytty ending...

Funny you say this cause I've been thinking about this a lot lately :patrice:

I love that they greenlight original screenplays- ie not a franchise/adaptation- with interesting premises and good casts, but they just don't seem to know how to do a proper third act for almost any of their films. Maybe its cause they're too used to doing television? An exception to me tho was The Ritual, I felt like that had a solid ending.

I enjoyed it, I'd give it a 6/10 overall. Movie did seem rushed once Ben Affleck got killed, was alot of foreshadowing of his death to be honest in the beginning

During the robbery part I was just saying to myself "They taking too much" :francis: Turns out they was. Homie said it was too much weight from the jump

should've been way better with this cast. oscar held it down but it was obvious what was going to happen once ben got greedy in the mansion.

everything after the chopper crash was a drag to watch. spending half the film watching guys carry money through a jungle was such a bad idea.

Netflix's problem is that they are still built and organized as a distribution channel and not a studio. They fund films but they have no big shot producers or studio heads keeping a finger to the pulse of what's being made.

As much as Hollywood likes to fukk up a good thing, almost every film, good or bad, takes years to get made for a reason, because they keep putting it through the grinder of questioning whether it's the movie they want to put out. Screenplays get touched up and rewritten endlessly, directors get swapped out, after screen testing they reshoot, and so forth and so forth. The end is a unison (not always kind) of producer, writer and director.

Netflix on the other hand just sees a hot name and idea and puts that shyt out. The reason their series don't end up the same way is because series are much more complex to put together and require a dedicated showrunner (not a director!) to make the whole production happen in the first place.

Set a hard out then disregard it to pull every single dollar out of the wall

Jax hit him with the :gucci:

Then Red Viper tells him they have too much weight, they need to drop it to successfully get over the mountain and he gives him the :childplease:

All of the bad shyt that happens was his fault
