Trailer - looks like another borefest


Like Maggie, we've got Arnold in a movie with no action and no comedy - what's the point?

I'm an Arnold fan but his latest movies have been so underwhelming. Don't expect much buzz on this one.

He's trying to branch out, do something dramatic for a change. That last shot with him staring down the guy in his own doorway terrified me tbh.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

@politicidal That's fair enough, but if I want powerful drama, an Arnold movie wouldn't be my first choice.

reply

Why don't you actually see it before you decide it's not a powerful drama? Or at least read a few reviews?

I've loved Mel Gibson in some movies and hated him in others. I don't think all Mel Gibson movies are exactly the same. Because they're not.

reply

Not a big Mel fan, but the point is well made.
Ransom (1996) for instance.
Even Lethal Weapon had some pretty dark dramatics in parts.

@Larry-115 Why don't you actually see it before you decide it's not a powerful drama?
What a silly argument. Why don't you actually watch The Ridiculous 6 before you decide whether or not it's a horrible movie?

If it gets 90%+ on RT then I'll watch it - but it'll probably get around the same as Maggie. And audiences will stay away in droves. They just don't want to see Arnold in a movie like this.

This looks good, kind of skirting the line between drama and thriller.

reply

Just as many people do want to see Arnold in a role like this, including myself.

reply

@smeiera I find that hard to believe - where's the buzz?

reply

There's no buzz because this is a VOD movie, it won't have a theatrical release so therefore it doesn't need ticket sales. It looks good though in my biased opinion.
