210 - The Marksman and Outside the Wire (Netflix)

January is not off to a bang of a start unfortunately- though it never really is.  Kick up those feet and have a listen as we get into the latest from Liam Neeson and Netflix.

Intro.  It's cold!  Roger's beat saber skills are not to be trifled with.  Roger heckled a 14 year old kid online.  Awesome.

THE MARKSMAN
 
Liam Neeson is back!  By now we all know what to expect from these annual and very formulaic action movies all very reminiscent of Taken from 2008.  Jim (Neeson) is a retired military vet and now works with border patrol along the southern border of the US.  When he meets a mother and child running away from their pursuers, Jim is morally entangled and agrees to take the child to Chicago with the rest of his family.  
What happened to these movies?  They've been in steady decline for years with this one being the worst.  (3/10)
 
Outside the Wire (Netflix)
 
Netflix really has a thing for the futuristic soldier of fortune model lately.  And Anthony Mackie headlines their newest attempt at the genre.  Damson Idris and Emily Beecham join Mackie in this very mediocre and disappointing action Sci-Fi.  Leo (Mackie) and Harp (Idris) are on a top secret mission to stop a nuclear attack that will embroil the world in war and death if allowed to commence.  It borrows elements from a dozen other movies, paying none of them the respect and homage that they deserve.  Netflix- You can do and have done better.  (4/10)  
 

Hosted, produced and mixed by Grayson Maxwell and Roger Stillion.  Guest appearance by Christopher Boughan.  Music by Chad Wall.  Quality Assurance by Anthony Emmett.
