So Netflix finally race swaps the other way. Every TSA team I have ever seen is so "diverse" that you'd think Netflix would embrace that chance. Oh wait, it is because TSA are going to be evil, or incompetent, or whatever. Except for that one chick that is so black she warps reality, she'll be super effective.

Did you even read the synopsis or go straight to polemics?

Looks interesting, getting some Phone Booth vibes from it.

I’m not sure I can suspend disbelief enough for a movie featuring a competent TSA agent protagonist

Oh yes, I know the Carry On films

Especially that bit in Carry On Camping.

Where she's doing the wide arm swings in a bikini top and it shoots off.

I watched it last night while playing PoE 2. It was horrible. Seems low for Bateman. Watch it if you want a 5/10 time waster but go in with low expectations.

Was fine, if very predictable. Trying to catch some Die Hard 2 vibes, I guess, with solo everyday guy saving an airport at christmas (but obviously not living up to that).

Critics rate it 6-8, audience has it at 5-7. Numerous places you can poke holes in it and the movie confines itself to such a small part of an airport with limited characters while Die Hard 2 at least went places with helpers and side characters you can hate.

But it's a Netflix movie, of course it isn't going to be a couple points higher.

It sure is dumb, but it sure is entertaining. IDK how well it would have worked without Bateman, Egerton was a charisma black hole and theres more shit to nitpick about then any movie ive seen in awhile but I was def entertained and didnt feel the need to look at my phone.

Will see how it holds up on rewatch next Christmas, might sneak into the fun Christmas action film list for me.

I watched both this and Madame Web in the last couple days...I'm not sure which one had more plot holes. The dialogue in MW was probably worse. Both leads only had one expression the whole time. Neither one let me see anyone naked that I wanted to see. Basically the same movie.

Was fine. Okay to watch but utterly forgettable.
