copy past from the danish movie with the same name, shit on them
I appreciate the sentiment they were trying to convey at the end but...
I think this is one of those cases where NOT showing it would have been all the more poignant. Have Reddington face off with the bull and cut to black. And end it there. Maybe - VERY MAYBE - add a small eulogy at the end with the team talking about him or switch it with Zuma's excellent scene in the bed. Don't show us his "mangled" and contorted body and have Ressler call Cooper to mention "he got him". That's just wrong. Disrespectful to the characters and the 10 years.
Still not the worst ending of a series though.
Evan Peters plays a crazy, psychotic serial killer a little too well.
I'm trying to figure out why I'm letting this show make me so mad lol
I'm not feeling Tolu at all .. she's wack. Also, the chick that went in with Jules... why didn't she defend his decision on why Tolu's name was picked?!? It wasn't even intentional smh
When your entire personality is based on being black and from Africa, but you get offended when someone refers to you in that way. No way of not offending those women at this point.
Edit: this comment was meant for episode 2
Are we sure this was from Netflix ? maybe they steal it from another streaming platform. Excellent show.
I began watching this show and before I had even noticed, I had watched four episodes in a row! I love it when shows do that to you; when they just grab you and won't let go and, hoo-boy, this one definitely does that!
It was nice to watch, but you can see there is much more of a story and they needed it to keep it short. It would have been better as a 10 episode mini serie. More backstories and showing different characters and there powers. The effects where nice, but has gone too quick to wrap it up.
Ahh come on, I was hoping that the storyline would come to an end. God knows how long we have to wait for the next season with all the COVID-19 craziness...
I've been quite tentative on recent Spike Lee outings, maybe he doesn't have it any more I said.
I watched the trailer for this and knew I had already been proving wrong.
The story of 4 black soldiers who served in Vietnam going back to reclaim many things they lost, love, gold and much more.
While the cast was all excellent, Delroy Lindo as Paul STOLE the show in what is probably his greatest performance.
From the very start you can tell he's a PTSD powder keg ready to explode and boy does he ever.
The hurt, the anger, the bitterness, even the psychosis is on full display as he presents to the audience a truly broken man, if he's not atleast up for an oscar it will be highway robbery.
Chadwick Boseman shines in what is slightly more than a cameo as Stormin Norman.
I'm assuming they shot on location in Vietnam, if not they did a heck of a job recreating vietnam because everything looks very authentic, especially the jungles.
Lastly even though there's not a whole lot of it, the gore effects are SUPERB, there's one scene and you'll know when you see it where someone dies and it's just disgusting yet beautiful at the same time.
The acapella Marvin Gaye soundtrack interwoven with real life solders who wouldn't otherwise get mention was the cherry on top.
Bravo to all involved, Spike Lee is back.
Well, fuck...I need to figure out how to get a bike-powered screen working so I can keep watching TV after everyone dies.
I'm a long-time fan of Chelsea and it's great that she's making more documentaries as I enjoyed her previous Netflix docu-series. That said, I felt this one was a little bit superficial and probably would have benefitted from being either a mini-series or at least a longer running time. Still worth a watch, though.
I feel like this a low rent Nashville that makes black people look terrible. The music is mediocre, the story generally lazy and hacky. It's like a show that were it given the attention of an HBO or Showtime might make you feel immersed in, but you're left with seeing how much Terrance Howard and Taraji can carry the series. (edit: Nov 2016 I recently finished watching Power which is a glimpse at what Empire might've been like on a different network) Extra points for making me hate Cookie so much, that's powerful acting or character development.
The relationships are soap opera like, the writing fairly blah and redundant. What could be compelling story lines are wrapped up quickly or ignored all together. It feels like the show can't pick a direction. I don't understand why it's so hyped, it certainly can't be from the song quality, and the superficial glance at the scatter-brained roles each character is supposed to play doesn't endear me to any character in particular. There's way too much TV to compare this to for this to stick out for any other reason than Black-ish does. It caricatures black people and requires zero effort to follow. (Black-ish has laid off the accelerator...a bit)
all women dig their own graves, so sad..
I legit teared up when Brian said he was doing this because they were trying to adopt a kid from the foster system, so they could look after him. God, this man is an angel. I hope he wins. Even if he doesn't he'll have good things coming his way his whole life with being a man with such integrity. Way to go buddy!
Way to long , boring ,made zero sense and a terrible ending
Very interesting... and yet the blue zones are quickly disappearing.. do people not learn?
Not the greatest spy show of all time but sometimes it's nice to watch something you don't have to think too much about. Iliked it
Better than what I thought. Different take on western movies. Must watch!!?
I felt like I had to hurry up and watch this before someone tries to get it taken off Netflix
There are two other comments on this page at the time of writing, and I think they are way off the mark. We don't need the context of black struggles, as these should be clear to us by now. This isn't a film about a white saviour, it's about the enlightenment of a man who used to be racist. His story is actually very interesting, and because of the time and the sect he had been a part of, his is a story of courage. So, thank goodness for him, and his realisation of the error of his ways. And thank goodness for Ann Atwater and the resilience she showed against the racism around her.
This is a good film and is worth a watch, and I hope its message of tolerance hits home, especially to those who are prejudiced against another, in whatever way.
compared to previous seasons this was so disappointing and boring.
I remember this unfolding in waco as a kid. the worse part of this is the agents and our government which was responsible for all these events never got in trouble for all those innocent lives that we're lost in this tragedy. shame on all those involved god will judge you.
I have a feeling this movie, when all is said and done, will be underrated. It would be easy to consider this movie less than it is: a good action sci-fi film, as good as anything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe with performances on the strong side and deliberate, cool filmmaking on the part of directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman.
Project Power (2020) is a worthy follow-up to 2016's Nerve, another high-concept thriller that seemed like it was adapted from a young adult novel. Joost and Schulman have certain tics. They like for their protagonists to ride motorcycles. They distinguish their films through blinding neons and high color saturation. And above all, they have a penchant for that saccharine sentimentality some might call “heart.” Without question, Project Power has that in spades.
Both Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are underutilized as leading men in these kinds of lightweight action thrillers. Gordon-Levitt seems to be doing his best imitation of his character from Premium Rush (2012) and Foxx finds his groove somewhere between Django Unchained (2012) and Baby Driver (2017). Clearly these gentlemen are having a blast. But Dominique Fishback also delivers a compelling performance, showing the chops to break out from the unquestionably young adult trappings of this film into something that will put her substantial acting prowess to good use.
Joost and Schulman have a phenomenal talent for stylish, kinetic action. Each of the film's fight scenes is creative, not just in how they are choreographed but also how they are filmed. This is every bit a step up from their prior work, but still comfortably in their lane.
Overall, I find Project Power to be an impressive film that is a cut above most Netflix exclusive offerings. It is a fine work of genre filmmaking and might have a little under the hood. I'd happily watch a Fishback, Foxx, and Gordon-Levitt led franchise, but it doesn't look like that's a certain outcome here. Nonetheless, this is a better class of modern B movie, the kind of pulp we deserve.
Project Power (2020) - :heart:x7
This was fun and a pretty good movie. The story might have been better served as a limited series though.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
The last dance is one of the rare documentarys that makes you live the moment.As a fan of the jordan era this is perfect.It goes through all the hard times chicago went through to win the championship.
A brilliant piece of writing. Just.... Incredible. I wish k could write like this.
