Another thing I was confused about, when Harp cuts that supposed tracker out of his back Leo revealed it wasn’t really a tracker it was a fail-safe in case he went rogue because there was a paradox command inside.
But when Harp makes it back to his base commanders and they ask him where Leo is he tells them he cut out his tracker and they have to find him by a stolen car. lol
This movie was convoluted. lol

Oh shit never heard of this
lol They tried to make that mutha fucka speed off into the distance but was only goin like 30mph
Nigga had less than 10sec to run away from the missile
Start the car( I know that bitch needed like 2-3 cranks to start up
This was good
It was decent. I really didn't get Anthony Mackie's character's motivation for going rogue. I wish they had done some exposition earlier in the movie the explain the rules robotic soldiers were supposed to follow so you understand the internal conflict a bit easier. Instead they tried to do in the middle of the action which just made it hard to understand.
you complaining about shootouts too long? hahah
u want 1 sec fights? big bro
I liked it.....
Its no Extraction in terms of fight scenes / shoot outs
Or 6 Underground in terms of explosions and action scenes.... its kind of in the middle... maybe more on the Old Guard side in terms of recent Netflix Action movies....
Otherwise solid effort.... I'd say 6, maybe 7 out of 10

I could've used maybe 5-10 more minutes on LEO as a machine, (Prime Directives, How his emotions / advanced programming lead him to his decision and limitations. ) towards the beginning and middle of the movie.
That part about command paradox and how he was able to override the programming because of Harp was so rushed and jammed into the middle of some good action.

Having served and saw some things similar I'll have to say depending on the overall leadership this man would be a hero, or be court martialed. I'm still watching so I'll come back. TBC
Edit. Ok. This went totally left. So many moments of “wow, really to utter disbelief” such as no intel brief (talking confidential and secret info out in the open?) to the whole idea of putting a pilot into a ground combat scenario. Really? If it did he’d never take the field or go outside the wire. It would never happen. Period, unless shot down. Contact the SERE school and ask how the pilots cry and resign their commissions in training
. They not built for that life. Anyway, no true handler for Mackey and no other support for the kid? He had to figure it out then the Col sends him back into the field and not the Sgt? Or a true ground warrior? The scene where they were mounted and went dismounted, stayed on the X ( killzone) in a built up area? Right there in the streets? Why not go into the buildings and clear them? Nah, this was an ok flick but the stuff they did in it would never happen. Lastly, in a nuclear recovery or stopping a nuke there is no waiting. If Ms Daisy was there it wouldn’t matter, she’s dead. We’d shell the fuck outta the place to keep a detonation from going nuclear. The conventional would explode but no nuke yield. We did tons of recapture and recovery exercises. They’d almost always end up with massive civilians dead to stop that nuke and lots of friendlies killed. 6 outta 10

In 2036 bruhSo y’all jus gonna be all quiet bout this huh
PRAISE: Im not even going to beat around the bush i had a lot of fun watching this movie.The story that takes place in the near future,of a drone pilot sent into a war zone finds himself paired up with a top-secret android officer on a mission to stop a nuclear attack was pretty good.
The pairing of Anthony Mackie and Damson Idris really worked for me.Idris as Lt. Thomas Harp, a drone pilot who isnt ready for the perilous and beyond dangerous mission hits all the right beats.
Mackie is definitely channeling Alonzo Harris from 2001's Training Day and having a great time doing it with his salty talk and scolding manner.
The action sequences were good and intense. I would say about 75% of the story worked for me.
PROBLEMS: There was a hollow feel to some parts of the story.Suspension of disbelief was asked of me several times.Another Netflix villain that doesnt measure up.
The last 20 minutes was very predictable.
It's not going to win any awards but it's a fun action romp.
Scale of 1-10 a 7½

I think it was both. He just didn't tell Harp it was also a fail safe.
That part...
The command paradox was built into LEO'S internal programming, not the fail safe.
That's how he was able to get Harp to take it out. LEO lied (by omission) about what it was/ its full purpose and since Harp didn't question it/ him, LEO was able to continue doing his own plan.
If the officer in the field is exhibiting poor mental health LEO is able to override (Harp's) commands and do..... (whatever he wants?) Or whatever seems rational.....
From my understanding the failsafe kept the humans in control and over rode the command paradox.
AND it was a tracker
I watch over the weekend and it was ok!!..
Who wrote that shit in lol
What's missing is CyberLonzos motivation is they didn't explain his backstory. How long has he been doing this? Maybe they planned a prequel. A lot could be done with it. Cool flick.
It was OK. The action was pretty good.
The one thing that drove me crazy was the drone pilot dude and the constant shots of him freezing up or just those long dramatic pauses where they zoom in on his face. They wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over did that shit. When they started that shit, I just kept skipping forward.
That was the fatal flaw of this movie. That shit must have added 15 minutes of pure bullshit to the running time

SPOILER ALERT!!!! (Kind of)
When that one female soldier got shot towards the end of the movie by Leo, I was like Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!! You normally don't see chicks get shot in movies like that.
IKR like some Sum of All Fears type shit then have the people mutate and become flesh eating zombies. After the time line splits. And restarts.
