Great movie and it's the main reason I went to Vaping to stop smoking.

A lot has happened to Angelina in those ten years.

surprisingly entertaining. It's a long movie, but it is written as well as a page-turner novel. Excellent acting too.

Also "On Netflix"... Extraction

Yes a mindless action movie but a decent effort IMO. Certainly better than many recent efforts.

Yes, good one. Depp does comedy scenes well.

Otherwise I am surprised how many low budget crap movies there are on Netflix. I find it difficult finding anything worth seeing.

^^ Yes, Netflix and the other streaming services boast how many movie titles they have to offer but many are crap and only a few are actually worth watching.

^ Very true. I'm only going to recommend the good ones!

I'll watch 'Extraction' next. Another surprisingly good movie is "Columbiana" with Zoe Saldana, but I think it was on Apple TV.

Saw it yesterday, good flick.
You can tell, just by watching that Netflix does not have the same money to spend than Hollywood.
But that is not necessarily a bad thing, I think.

^^^ The director was (is?) a stunt man and it shows.

You're right. You could see this was a budget production but still very well done.

The weapons were excellent and up to date. I also liked the ensemble cast and the whole India thing. It made it very interesting.

I was never a real TV fan (other than Star Trek) butrather a movie buff. Now with my home boundedness I've been using Netflix to dredge up TV shows that I missed in the past. West Wing has some great writing. I've even gotten a few chuckles out of the early seasons of CHEERS. I'm currently checking out Blue Bloods.

I thought it had some very good plot twists and development of several of the characters.

They've really been hurt by the streaming split - everyone started their own service, so they have to generate their own content instead of licensing the big hits from movies and television.
