(trailer review) - Nobody

When I saw Bob's face on the thumbnail of this trailer, I thought to myself "oh, that's the guy from 'Better Call Saul' and 'Breaking Bad!'" (two great shows by the way) and then my immediate thought was, "oh, is he in a film?".  You see, it's one thing having someone acting in TV series, but to see them in film, you do often think if the film would be any good because acting in film and acting in a TV series are two completely different things.  For the most part, most or quire a few TV shows are character driven so you need a great director who will be able to pull out an actors talents and what they are known for or what they excel at in TV, so I instantly thought that maybe this trailer could be interesting.  Ultimately, it could be rubbish.

Upon watching this trailer, like most films of this ilk, it starts off a little slow giving you a little of the character's current life situation.  Then we are hit with the switch and what changes the character.  Then a little history on what the character used to be in his past before he settled down and became a family man while at the same time, wrecking havoc and messing up fools.  If you liken this to John Wick, well...David Leitch is the producer who is responsible for Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Hobbs & Shaw, so yeah that guy is behind this.  And although this can be seen as a tired trope and "Yeah, I've seen this all before", it really is about the acting and execution and Ilya Naishuller brought us music video and Hardcore Henry?

This looks great.  Bob is fairly comical as he has a comedic background so I can see some witty and clever lines woven into this script, along with situations, but I can assure you (well at least i think), if you like John Wick, you are likely to like this with a very slight comedic element to it but with all the seriousness of a Wick film or better yet, an action thriller.  I don't think it will fall flat or at least I hope it doesn't.  Nice to see Christopher Lloyd in this too.

Directed by Ilya Naishuller and starring Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, RZA, Aleksei Serebryakov & Christopher Lloyd

(trailer review) - Outside the Wire

 

Outside the wire sounds like a bit of a quote made in the film. "You know, he will never be detected, because he is Outside the Wire!", whatever that means, but the movie, it looks decent.

Mr Anthony "One Take" Mackie is moving away from his Marvel character The Falcon for other sci-fi projects.  Altered Carbon Season 2 and this.  I don't recognise this new face, but I recognise Euron Greyjoy from recently watching "Overlord" on Netflix which was amazing and that was a "sleeper".  Although this practically looks like it's straight to DVD, it would be interesting if this turned out to be a decent movie, enjoyable and entertaining, almost like Code 8.

Directed by Mikael Håfström and starring Anthony Mackie, Damson Idris, Emily Beechum, Michael Kelly, Pilou Asbæk
