MR. LUTHER, YOU HAVE PLOT IMPLAUSIBILITIES
29 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The star of this movie is one of my favorites and that along with it being rated as a must see, #1 movie on Netflix had me deposit it into my queue and eventually push play. The star performed admirably and has a bright future ahead of himself. However, and saying all that, the plot and story fail at potent times in the movie something that I wasn't expecting with this play up to go view! SPOILERS: The guy is a good coop doing what he does best until a "super" criminal issues orders to find dirt on him so his career can be destroyed. Don't they vet cops before hiring them? Also, what evidence can possibly bring down a man on the job unless it is blatant. If that is the case, they didn't need the mastermind criminal ordering an investigation and succeeding with it. Secondly, he gets sentence to jail time (questionable act) and put into a max prison as a cop with the population. Really? Why not just sentence him to death instead of death by being in prison? Escaping from jail was over the top and strained watchability as well. Before that, he has a cell phone in his cell? Do they allow this? If that is not enough, People at the department where he used to work despise him of which there is no good reason except for his recent nonsense of which they should have known was trumped up. Further, he had a good reputation as a cop and in this movie, proves it more than once. At about the middle of the movie, I had to exit. Sorry to all involved here but, the director, script writer, producer set me up to do so. What could have been a blockbuster in the truest sense settled for a lesser destiny. BTW, there are so many decent, martial artist type movies out there, Taken, AKA, Gray Man and Extraction that could have given this guy the ability to inflict some serious pain in prision something the public is accustomed to now adays. Instead, they show this cop/criminal taking a shower, alone and being attacked and beaten successfully (no fight back) with prison officials still putting him back in population? To you moviemakers out there: Don't ever do this again...please.
