Featured Review about the Languages is about stupid!! Why have that as a Featured Review?! IT'S AN ARNOLD SHOW!! (hard eye roll)

This is Classic Arnold Fun! Why would critics waste their time reviewing this? This was enjoyable to watch. Not a deep story to follow. Arnold movies never needed much in the way of depth, just action and fun one liners. If you want Emmy and Oscar level stuff, I believe folks are smart enough to know where to look.

Having said all that. It hurt my heart to see the age showing in Arnold. Supporting cast is fun and there is chemistry. The humor flows well and doesn't fall flat. Very quippy.

We did not know what to expect after reading some of the critical reviews. But we found this totally enjoyable! We can only think that the people who did not like it, 'because it did not live up to True Lies,' didn't actually watch True Lies. Because others suggested this was a semi sequel, we watched the 1994 movie yesterday. Also, fun, but way over the top and not particularly believable. This is better.

In Fubar, Arnold is Arnold. Anyone expecting him to be Tom Cruise or The Rock simply hasn't watched enough Arnold. No question he's getting older, but he's just fine in this role. And Monica Barbaro is awesome....an actor who's on her way, wow!

So many B-productions, and sometimes even A-productions, fail to do basic research. I've seen it many, many times and it's insulting.

You get an entire crew to Antwerp to shoot there - which is cool - and let the protagonist speak partially German? You let a business partner speak "Deutsch" (not Dutch)?

I mean, between the moronic writer all the way up to the director and actor, you wonder why no one stepped in and said: "you are mixing languages"!

The country speaks French and Dutch. The Flemish Region of Belgium (or Flanders) is a Dutch-speaking area in the country's north, and one of 3 Belgian regions. The national capital, Brussels, considered its own region, lies near Flanders' southern edge.

I'm not going to waste my time on a generic action hero under the direction of a moron.

I saw another review heavily downvoted for saying something about the languages. Let me clarify.

Not all people in Belgium speak OR dutch OR french. There is a german speaking part in Belgium too. Very small but it's there. Belgians are also very capable of speaking English. But! It doesn't make sense for the scene to take place in Antwerp and then the dealer guy and Arnold not speaking dutch. They try to make the scene believable by having Arnold 'attempt' some dutch in the car. I say attempt because that sounded NOTHING like dutch. I couldn't even make out words. I know german and that wasn't it. The languages sound alike, but for someone who speaks either or both, it's a huge difference. They should have made the dealer guy speaks dutch (which makes sense because that's what people speak in Antwerp) or just English. A missed opportunity to make the scene believable.

As a Belgian, it was fun to see Antwerp in a big production series with Arnold. But there was no effort put into the actors speaking dutch that was not terrible and could understand. I really think they used google translate and just made the actors listen to that.

I agree with the other review that this is quite insulting. But it's not important to the show or anyone watching that doesn't speak it. So it's not important but makes a viewer from here really confused and it's hard to watch.

We just heard about this show and were excited to see that we would be able to watch it. We have always enjoyed Arnie's movies, all of them , and were really looking forward to this one. It started and we started to watch it in silence, we both had no reaction. We watched for about 30 minutes and there seemed to be nothing too exciting. We said that it seemed really corny, very predictable. To us , it was like watching a really bad major network police or crime drama, something similar to The Equalizer. Maybe the later episodes or even the new season is better? We really wanted to like this series.
