Watched Triple Frontier. Tons of potential but ultimately fell short. It was just OK. Still not sure where the name came from. Quite a few fairly significant head scratcher moments with the story telling. Worth watching if for no other reason than to reconfirm the idea that Netflix really continues to struggle with how to make a good film...can't they hire a couple people away from HBO or something to get it right?

I liked it. I do wish it had more action and been more of a shoot em up instead of the suspense thriller it became

I liked Triple Frontier. Really did right with the complexities of interpersonal relationships with guys who served together. They loved each other, hated each other, all at the same time.

I also wish it was more on the action, but overall pretty good. Actually, it would have been a really good Netflix series, they could have really packed a lot into 8 or 10 1-hour episodes.

I've never done anything cool like you guys but I liked Trippple Frontier!!!!!

Spoiler: DONT OPEN

Even hollywood comms can't keep tragedy from happening. People die and it doesn't seem to be that happy ending everyone wants!!! Life sometimes just SUCKS!!!!

ETA - why I liked it!!!

I did not like Triple Frontier. Good cast, good concept, story fell apart about halfway through.

Seriously. It was pretty good and all of a sudden, it's like they said "Fuck it, let's just finish this off and go get drunk.".

Let’s walk around a cartel boss’ house for a few minutes and then just wing the raid lol.

I’m guessing they killed off Affleck because they didn’t want to pay him to return for a sequel (since the dude passed the coordinates for where they dropped Much of the cash).

Damn it. I really wanted this to be good.

I don't know about others here but I wouldn't say it's bad, just that with how good the first half is. The remainder is extremely disappointing.

I liked the human aspect, how these former SOF guys aren't supermen, have their flaws, etc. The best have bad days and sometimes they (gasp!) cause those bad days.

The story fell apart about the midway point. I think everyone on set had a meeting and came to one conclusion:

Yes, that's the way I felt: I liked the dynamics, but the mission sucked. Or rather the movie about the mission.

Anyone else check out the Motley Crue biopic The Dirt?

I'm not usually into these kinds of movies; ie Bohemian Rhapsody, etc. but watched this tonight and thought it was pretty entertaining. Those dudes were out of control.

Watched Shazam tonight. It was better than expected for a DC movie. Definitely better than the other movie in my opinion. No Mary Sues

My mate reads all the rock bios...he reckons theirs was the best, biggest and most mad.

I read Nikki Sixx's autobio...that was mad. He and a buddy had this competition to see who could go the longest without a shower and still get laid. I think the winner was around 20 days. The book was insane.

They pretty much defined debauchery.
