I enjoyed the movie but felt like it would probably capture what it’s like being in that deployment scenario and resonate more with combat vets than normies. There was like 3 times where the film made me "big jump” and I think I had an audible "Oh sheet!” during at least one of two of them. not surprising Alex Garland was involved as several moments captured the tone that I felt watching Civil War.

Yeah some of the battle scenes in Civil War had a VERY realistic feel to them so I’m excited to see this

Probably the most accurate war movie I've ever seen.No score. It's got a few things: camaraderie with the boys, boredom, confusion, and action. It's also very very loud. Which is accurate.Does a good job of showing the confusion of things, and doesn't have the "rah rah" glory type of ish that was in stuff like Saving Private Ryan and We Were Soldiers, which is not really in war.

April 23Apr 23 If you tell anyone else I said this I’ll deny it but, up until a few days ago I didn’t realize Miller was female. Doesn’t matter at all to the plot but thinking about Brand with another woman makes me happy.
April 28Apr 28 Author Accountant 2 might have the most entertaining Bernthal performance I have seen to date. The movie overall was fine, but Bernthal alone elevates it a solid 20%!
May 1May 1 Just saw Sinners. It was a good movie, a good soundtrack and a good time piece film. Not sure it was as good as the hype around it.It was heavily influenced by From Dusk Till Dawn which is one of my all timers so I enjoyed it.

Jordan.

And shouldn't his line be "I need you to trust me....a couple more times."?He needs to transition to making it more about the team. They have 2 tech guys, Simon Pegg now does a little field work in masks. I liked Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa, gave them an international spy and someone who understood Ethan. It's weird to just recruit a thief and immediately Hayley Atwell (who I also like) is now on the team. It's like they can only have 3 males and 1 female all the time.In part 3 Ethan was already retired then brought back. Now they're on their 8th movie. Should've saved the retired bit. I liked Paula Patton in Ghost Protocol, wish she would have returned. A lot of people thought casting Jeremy Renner was going to pass the baton to him.They need to think about expanding the franchise beyond 1 character. Ethan can even run the IMF and be in all the movies and play the Jon Voight role from the 1st movie, but have 1 or 2 additional teams doing missions.
