Opération: 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.

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.

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.

No pun intended - I am not even sure if the (international) title is apt. But let's not get hung up on that. The movie seems like a throwback ... if that is a good or a bad thing ... well up to you! Quite a few cliches - things you have seen in US movies too. If you liked them there, you will like them here. I would not go as far as do Seagal comparisons - that is just me - and below the quality of the movie (as low as you may think it is).

The action is well shot, the predictability rate as high as the hit rate of our main character. He has charisma - and gets a band of misfits to help him. Again no points for guessing the twists (if you can call them that) ... also paper thin character development ... if any ...

I can stand bad movies as long as they are fun to watch. This is just plain bad in every sense of the word. Third rate editing, directing, and effects. Complete inept effort by amateurs. I hope the producers put up their own money. If not they just squandered someone else's hard earned savings on this piece of foul turd. Bad story, bad action, stupid dialogue, ludicrous premise. Complete waste of time and effort for the cast and crew. The producers ought to find another line of work and sell tacos out of a truck. Leave the film making to people that actually know what their doing. The only redeeming value of this movie, if you want to call it that, is that i can use it in lieu of a sleeping pill.
