Concur. Frankly, I think it's also compounded by just plain old laziness in Hollywood.Production companies are hell bent on sequels, prequels and remakes; cause they are cheaper to make (usually already own rights), with an established fan base. I'm getting really tired of it and think it's part of the reason for the rise in HBO and Netflix (and similar platforms) popularity; they make excellent new productions.
Your previous post on this movie already lost me. The fact that the star of a movie like this doesn't even know how to make it look like he knows how to use rifle sights and the producers aren't smart enough to keep it off a promo photo doesn't leave me with a lot of hope.Updated American Assassin Preview....
As a Vince Flynn/Mitch Rapp fan I am already concerned that they've changed his backstory from losing his girlfriend in the Pan Am flight 103 bombing in 1988, to losing her to AK wielding terrorists on a beach....but I am guessing they did that so that they could use modern technology. I'll give them that one.

I'll watch the shit out of a good fighter pilot movie... the last good fighter pilot movie we had was....Top Gun? The last fighter pilot movie was Stealth?? Ugh.
Bruce Willis's M68 was on backwards in that movie.I've been this close to starting a thread where we can bitch about war/ tactical type movie inaccuracies.
Tears of the Sun. Behind hostile lines. No rucks, yet they conduct an entire op. and spend ammo like like its being dumped out of a resupply helicopter, for instance.
Perhaps I was asleep for most of the movie. :-/

They should pay us big us the big bucks to be advisors so this stupid shit doesn't happen![]()
You should hear what the community has to say about the advisor for the Hurt Locker. :-"
LOL. I'm sure it looked "cooler" that way to someone.

I figured three man EOD teams wandering around Iraq in a hummer by themselves was standard SOP![]()
When we even thought it COULD be an IED we would say "aint my job". I love you EOD!
Hurt Locker was a joke on every level. The main character was portrayed as an undisciplined, yet skilled, rule breaker who rolled solo-cholo through Iraq as he saw fit to blow IEDs, fight sniper duels, and clear houses by himself. Also I love how he pulled up four 155mm artillery shell IEDs by the det cord. For no particular reason other than to show off his front deltoid strength. Seems legit.You should hear what the community has to say about the advisor for the Hurt Locker. :-"
