my moms watching that right now

It was clearly going to be that Dorne feller supposed to get killed

I thought they fucked up by killing the best character too but the film survived. Wasn't too bad

This movie could have been way better than it was. I couldn't figure out the character's motivations. One minute they're crashing a helicopter rather than lose a little money, then that night they literally make a bonfire out of money and laugh about it. Only Affleck and Isaac had any semblance of character and Affleck has a random ass death 3/4ths into the movie, so that's half the cast you care about gone.

Fuck, I thought this would be good but Netflix disappoints again.

Is your mom hot

>best character
What the fuck? They’re all horribly written characters but Ben is the worst. How the fuck can anyone take him seriously as an actor he gives zero fucks and no discernible attempt at a performance.

He was murdering everyone and that caught me off guard, I thought Poe was going to be the villain

Affleck looked bored and distracted as hell the whole movie.

>*scowls the whole time he's explaining how he likes civilian life*
>*scowls and seems impatient the whole time he realizes he's won the lottery on this retarded mission*
He just shouldn't have done the movie.

>“When I first read the script it was a secondary character [who got killed], I can’t even remember which one of the other guys it was. It was someone else… It was actually in meeting with Ben for the first time, he suggested it. He said would you ever be willing to do that? I had actually moved it to a different character than the one that I originally read [in Mark Boal’s draft of the script]. I won’t get into who, but it was to another character and it was very secondary. Ben said, ‘Would you ever be willing to, if I got the studio to agree to it, to allow that to be me?’”

>Chandor says Affleck had previously wanted to kill off a main character in one of his other films, but the studio wouldn’t allow it:

>“You can ask him about this, but I think he had a version of a movie that he might have directed where he wanted to do something like this before and wasn’t able to because of the studio. He had always regretted that. He suggested it to me and I left his office that day and I was like, ‘YES!’ I realized it was so neat that instead of it being the guy that should have died, it was the guy that shouldn’t have, in a way. Even though he’s the leader, and he should have known better.”

DC was probably getting annoyed by how he kept demanding that Batman get shot in the brain in the second act

yeah it honestly seems like you can watch him just fucking bow out of the production because of all the on location bullshit. That's the real story of the movie. Is watch this depressed guy just get more and more done with working on a movie and force the producers to force the director to kill him off so he could get off that fucking mountain.

it was so weird though. It was clearly set up to be heading toward an Affleck versus Issac conflict the whole time. And then suddenly he gets popped in the face and now Pascal is suddenly taking over as the "devil on the shoulder" and shit.

The whole movie just spends the last 20 minutes recovering from the star demanding to killed early as a goof.

Ben Affleck wasn't the star of this. No more than Will Smith was the star of Suicide Squad.

Tried watching and gave up after 30 minutes of "getting the band back together"

He was almost certainly the highest paid, and he clearly had sway over the producers. He was supposed to be the primary antagonist/foil to Isaac that gets corrupted by greed but he wanted to use an idea he had on a different movie where he died early and forced it to happen on this one.

why is he so desperate to die

I loved the wet miserable jungle recon stuff any other films with a similar aesthetic?

Movie fell to pieces after they found the money, it should have gotten tighter and more claustrophobic and desperate but instead you had to sit through a 20 minute helicopter scene that killed the tension.

it was kino, anyone who disagrees is a pleb

I'm glad he didn't, that line in the truck afterwards was the best in the movie

Why are the directors so retarded?
>He shouldn't have been the one to die
He was literally the fucking target
Btw if I had to guess one of the blondes were probably going to get brained so the other could cry over their body

its not netflix fault. this movie was in production hell since 2010 with bigalow attached to direct it and hanks and depp being the main cast.

What were the 3 frontiers?

colombia brazil and peru i think

thas dum

Jungle, mountain, ocean

yeah the blondes having beef for no reason was weird. Maybe they wrote that shit into it since they nuked the fucking Antagonist out of nowhere.

trash/11

It's funny how something like this with all the makings of being top action kino falls flat. Yet a D grade flick like Hunter Killer somehow manages to be greater than the sum of its parts and way more entertaining than it has any right to be.

This. I think it would've been better if they didn't find the cartel boss in the house, and had to fight their way out of the estate. Could've had a car chase type scene of them hauling ass down shitty jungle roads, getting chased by goons and desperately trying to get to the airstrip. Once they get in the helicopter, the movie could've pretty much continued as it did.

existence is pain
