With a touch of Training Day, a smidgen of Eagle Eye, a dash of Eye in the Sky, a pinch of Ex Machina and an extra generous serving of all the Terminator films, Outside the Wire is losing every available award for originality, yet another Netflix creation born from its algorithmic cauldron, but taken on very basic low-stakes terms, it’s a competent enough January time-filler.

Mackie’s performance, for better and worse, is anything but robotic. He plays more or less the same charismatic wiseacre he usually does, interpreting Leo as a machine that’s every bit as uniquely expressive as is any human being. That injects some welcome levity into what’s generally a flat, dour adventure, directed by Sweden’s Mikael Håfström with little of the old-school verve that he brought to Escape Plan.

Grainy establishing shots of the skirmish offer little visual information other than its location on an expressway. Without viewers knowing where, and at whom, the soldiers are firing, the onscreen action is rendered indecipherable. Mackie’s quirky performance — Leo ends every order to Harp with an uncomfortable smile — is likewise baffling.

So much action and I loved every bit of it. The ending could of been better but overall i liked the movie and Anthony Mackey was a badass and he deserve more starting roles like this.

Got a little confusing about midway through but it made its point. Mackie is a star.

It has moments of sci-fi entertainment, but it thinks it is smarter than it actually is, which ends up hindering it. It is too deep to be background noise, but too cheesy to be taken seriously. In other words, it's a Netflix movie.

Would've been a better movie if those nukes launched but they ended up making the ending a cliche. Good for a one-time watch.

Sorry I just found it boring, not a very good sci-fi movie, a bit of an bias opinion I'll admit, so see for yourself.
