Outside the Wire (2021)

Outside the Wire briefly proves it isn’t quite as dumb as it seemed by touching upon some interesting sci-fi ideas. Seconds later, it resumes its familiar course. Movies like this practically come off an assembly line.

In 2036, a civil war in Ukraine leads the United States to send soldiers - both robotic and human - to intervene. As punishment for disobeying an order, 1st Lt. Harp (Damson Idris) is sent to the front lines. He’s been hand-picked by Captain Leo (Anthony Mackie) to find terrorist Victor Koval (Pilou Asbæk) before the madman gets his hands on nuclear launch codes. What Harp doesn’t realize is that Leo is no ordinary soldier.

I can see some audiences enjoying this one because it will remind them of RoboCop, Training Day, The Terminator, and others. It even has some twists and turns didn’t see coming. After a missile Harp deploys kills 2 Marines, he’s to be taught a lesson by Leo - an experimental android. He'll learn what it’s like to be on the ground while bullets are flying, what it means to look into someone's eyes as you kill them (kind of; he still uses a gun). Considering this mission’s failure could lead to a nuclear holocaust Leo must have A LOT of faith in this rookie. Or maybe his programming is faulty. Is the man who was comfortable blasting human beings from orbit and feels no remorse about it less human than the artificial one? Are Leo's emotions and ability to follow "hunches" features, or glitches? The movie poses these questions and then barely consider them.

Theoretically, this movie has some interesting things to say but it fails to follow through on any of them as Leo and Harp search for Koval. It’s a catastrophic mistake because this plot? It's bland. The movie’s pitch must’ve been something like "Blah Blah Blah Nuclear Launch codes. Blah Blah Blah Russian terrorist." "Oh! But there’s an experienced robot investigating the thing with his rookie human partner!"

To be fair, several of the seemingly idiotic decisions made throughout are explained. There’s a reason why the rookie with no experience who's rattled by the sound of gunfire has been selected by Leo. This doesn’t mean you like him. What he learns still feels unearned. The movie tries hard to make you think about big war-related moral quandaries. You won’t.

If Outside the Wire was fully committed to even just one of its concepts, it could’ve been something. Governments are debating killer AI right now. There are grey areas when it comes to drone strikes. To compensate for a lack of substance, we get a bunch of generic action scenes. Most are shot so frenetically it’s hard to tell what’s going on. Outside the Wire isn’t well-executed and it isn’t a complete mess either. You won’t hate it but you will forget all about it as soon as the credits roll. (January 26, 2020)

Considering how much I’ve been working this month with teaching two courses, in addition to the usual routine of admin and training, I’m pretty impressed with myself getting four books down range this month!💁‍♂️ March’s haul included a collection of anecdotes from the Canadian experience during the Afghanistan Conflict, a dramatized account of a true story taking place in the horrors at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and two completely different autobiographies. One featuring lunatic Navy Seal, Ultra-Athlete David Goggins, and the other featuring Monty Python front-man John Cleese! Let see if I can keep this pace up in April! 📚 😃 #reading #MarchReads #books #MontyPython #JohnCleese #SoAnyway #DavidGoggins #Can’tHurtMe #OutsidetheWire #Afghanistan #TattooistofAushwitz (at Antigonish, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvuyHaxF-3q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tqlt2ypw0gqx

OUTSIDE THE WIRE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5: (Spoiler free) This futurist Netflix movie has robots and cyborgs and a military feel. It’s story line is pretty solid and intelligent and it was enjoyable to watch. Nuff said, it won’t change your world but it’s a good movie IMO Have you seen it?

#outsidethewire #anthonymackie I just got through watching Outside the Wire on Netflix and it was pretty good movie. Still don't understand how it got such a low rating but I felt alot of Captain America The Winter Soldier vibes from watching Anthony Mackies performance as a cyborg and how the story played out. Makes you really think about diplomacy, moral ethics and humanity. I really recommend checking it out. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLiih8IAyeZ/?igshid=c0yrrnvrbm6f

Amazing film that pretty much tells you what's coming on the battle field and what's already there. But the story gets even deeper. This is transhumanism at its finest and the effects of what can happen when you lose control of it. This film is ahead of its time and will go over so many people's heads but to those who have study this topic for some time, it is a nightmare. This film is disguised as a #action flick but make no mistake, this is a #horror movie. #transhumanism #manvsmachines #techdependency #outsidethewire #netflix https://www.instagram.com/p/CLeXMHBlx4y/?igshid=1nmh6fmspxwsg
