Soulcatcher

This movie was not great I have to be honest. The premise seemed interesting enough. A group are hired to retrieve a weapon of mass destruction, you know how it goes. The thing that I did find good about this though was how we had a zombie theme thrown in, the weapon causes the victim to die at first, but then come back and be angry. Almost to the point of a zombie like creature. The action is decent enough and works well for the film. The acting was decent as well. This movie just seemed decent. There was nothing to great and really this film was just an ok action. Not one of netflixes best, but not the worst either.

I absolutely adored this movie from start to finish. From the moment the opening credits rolled, I was completely captivated by the storyline, the characters, and the stunning cinematography. The plot was so intricately woven, keeping me on the edge of my seat with its twists and turns. Each character was beautifully developed, making me feel emotionally invested in their journey. I found myself laughing, crying, and cheering along with them as they navigated through their challenges and triumphs. The actors delivered outstanding performances, bringing depth and authenticity to their roles. The chemistry between the main characters was palpable, making their relationships feel incredibly real and relatable. The visual effects were simply breathtaking, transporting me to mesmerizing worlds and immersing me in every scene. And let's not forget about the soundtrack - it perfectly complemented the mood of each moment, enhancing the overall viewing experience. As the credits rolled at the end, I couldn't help but sit there in awe, feeling grateful for having experienced such a masterpiece. This movie truly touched my heart, leaving a lasting impression that I know I'll carry with me for years to come. I can't wait to watch it again and relive the magic all over again.

Don't know how it was Netflix's most watched movie, at least that's what some articles reported on the Internet.

Gotta admit the trailer I viewed made it seem interesting and I did watched it.

But the acting by most of the side characters were horrible, like high school drama class play level talents, but only C+ level performance at best.

The first act was okay, setting up the back story and motivation for the main protagonist.

Second act was predictable, and even the double cross was predictable, because of how the movie progressed up to that point, so the "big bad" reveal was pretty much telegraphed or leaked by just keeping track of how much time is still left before the end of the movie.

Third act, predictable with almost no plot twist and the hero did his job to complete his primary objectives. He did failed the hostage rescue bonus objective and the acting to end the film made it feel like it was no big deal at all. So much for the grief of a daughter losing her dad. Or that scene was filmed way before and the actors had no clue about that minor detail in storytelling.

Just another movie with good potentials, getting sloppy with the progression of the film, and losing steam or good script to finish strong. So par for just about 90+% of Netflix movies.

Does it deserve the less than 4 out of 10 aggregate review rating? I think that's a bit harsh. I gave it 4, but it was not a 5, but I also viewed it with original Polish audio track, so the voiceover in English might be even more terrible, thus justifying the low user rating.

Netflix, don't give up, but do urge your directors and actors to do better on Netflix original projects.

Seriously....it's impossible to unseen this movie. It seems to be class Z production: far-fetched scenario, gun fight scenes repeated with mirror effect just to act as brand new for spectator, poor post-production CGI effects and finally: characters pale as medival virgin's skin. I can't believe that actor like Jacek Koman took part with this project. In 80s the movie could propably compete with movies starring Michael Dudikoff but today it makes me feel embarrased and ironic smile on my face appears. I tried to find any positive aspect of this movie but even trying to remind soundtrack is pointless. Many years ago I watched "The Taylor from Panama" and I scored it as worst movie I ever seen - unfortunately, it changed now.

If you value your time do not waste it for this movie. Seems to me that they used people straight from the street, who have no idea how to act, as it's painfully unrealistic... Special effects out of movies in 1960's, story line like from some youtube channel. I don't understand how this movie made it to netflix... is it some new trend - bad is a new good? I have seen some corny movies before, but this one sets completely new standard :) If this is the way polish cinematography is going I am afraid it's time to focus on other countries, which is a shame, as they did make some really good movies in the past...
