Awake not Woke!

'Inspired by a true story', except it's not, like at all. Literally the only thing that actually happened was Miami police raided a mans home and found 22 million hidden in home depot buckets behind a wall. That's it, no cartel, no corrupt police, no murdered LEO, no shootout, no police chase, nothing. Even the officer that was involved in the production as an advisor wasn't there or involved with the real story at all. In reality this is a completely fictional made up story, it didn't even happen in the city of Hialeah either. Sigh. As for the movie, well it's standard modern fare. The acting is pretty good and it's fine for mindless entertainment but the story and writing is not so great. It's the usual lazy writing with characters doing stupid things that trained special unit officer would do. If you don't pay too much attention it passes the time. While I don't mind Affleck or Damon they are a bit miscast in my opinion especially in the first half, they are still stuck in their Boston speech patterns and mindset, that's not how people talk in Miami, and what is with the constant nonstop F bombs, in every sentence by every character. It's not natural at all and just distracting. As for woke the diversity is not that far off given it's set in Miami but still can't help but notice the core group consists of 2 white males, 1 Asian male, 1 black female and 1 Spanish female. Spoiler.................. The other issue is the villains are all men and other than 1 are white and corrupt police while the Columbian drug cartel is more honorable and not really that bad after all.

Although it was "inspired" by the same-name comic, its connection with the comic is way too low, almost zero. They just used the concept; everything else was made up.

Kids show. Don't expect too much.

There is nothing woke here. A German WWII movie about a tank crew going on a mission to pick up an officer across dangerous territory. This is more of a drama really than a typical war action movie. There were only 2 action scenes really in the entire movie. The acting is ok I guess but not the best. The dialogue was not very good but that's possibly partially due to the translation (I watched the subtitled version). The real problem though is I just didn't really care about the characters. There's also the problem that the cinematography varied a lot. Most of the wide shots looked pretty good but the close ups looked like either green screen or CG enhanced backgrounds. It all just looked off somehow. Up until the end I might of given this 2 stars but that twist ending. Why? It just doesn't really work here and makes the entire movie just seem pointless. Even if your a fan of war movies in general it's hard to see any real reason to watch this.
