    Beast of Boredom

    The plot is simplistic, the dialogue is the same, the acting just so so.. Whoever convinced Daniel that sitting in a cockpit of a plane for most of a movie would be riveting viewing should be fired. It was boring , silly, and the end of the movie just hammered the final nail into this utterly disappointing attempt at a thriller. Do not waste your time even out of curiosity.

    A Bastard Child of Locke and American Made

    A poor and pathetic attempt to copy the style of Tom Hardy's Locke with a run of the mill story. Falls flat on its face. Maybe I would have given it 2 or 3 starts, if I had not seen Locke, but as it is.....one star will do.

    Here's what happened..

    It all started with him flying the plane.. I got up and grabbed a few snacks, made a drink, did my brother's homework, went to college and graduated, got mrried, had 4 kids, and boom. He was still flying the plane...

    What were they thinking ?

    Very engaging from start but it took a nose dive after that. waste of time. feeling bad for Daniel Radcliffe. the only reason i watched this movie was him. I was expecting better from him. Bad casting, Bad acting,

    After Wheelman they did it again, but this time in a plane.

    Earlier this year I watched Wheelman that got not too bad ratings on here and I still wonder why. That movie was about a guy in a car phoning different people every five seconds, and this for the entire movie. Apparently I didn't get it because I thought it was one of the most boring movies I saw this year. If you don't like cars but you do like planes, and you do like movies where people are just phoning during the entire movie then you should watch Beast Of Burden. Because that's basically it, Daniel Radcliffe in a plane phoning different people for the entire movie. 95% of the movie is just a guy in a plane phoning. You have to be a masochist to like that kind of garbage. The only reason I started watching this movie was because of Daniel Radcliffe. I wonder if he regrets accepting this role, because that's obviously a serious downer in his career. If you want to die from boredom watch Wheelman and Beast Of Burden consecutively.

      Bloom: [about the drone that he's flying alongside Sean's plane] I love it. It's got a feed that streams straight to my phone, so I can watch it on the shitter if I want to.

      Sean: Man, I thought this relationship was built on trust.

      Bloom: No, truth is, this relationship is built on paranoia and fear.
