A lot of these over-the-top action movies don't pull it off very well, but this one looks cool. Directed by Joe Carnahan of Narc, Smokin' Aces, and The Grey.

Kinda wild to see Naomi Watts as the action hero's love interest when she's 52. Also Michelle Yeoh in there.

 

[Lanrutcon]

That looks pretty entertaining.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Wait did they just use Cap's line at the end of the trailer. Ohh.....ok. I'll wait for a streaming release to watch that drunk one night.

 

[NahaNago]

Looks fun. I'll definitely watch this when it comes out.

 

[Tesseract]

watts still fine as hell

 

[ManofOne]

Looks Kill Billish. I'd watch

 

[Punished Miku]

I saw a midget attach an explosive to his back and detonate.

I'm in.

 

[OverHeat]

Releasing when and where?

 

[sol_bad]

This looks fun, yes please.

*EDIT*
Theatrical release?

 

[Lionel Richie]

IN

 

[ipukespiders]

I feel like I've seen the entire movie just by watching the trailer.

 

[infinitys_7th]

Looks Kill Billish. I'd watch

Kill Bill + Edge of Tomorrow

 

[ManaByte]

Carnahan also made the A-Team movie that shockingly didn’t suck.

 

[KiNeMz]

rampage jackson. hahahaha ye3s

 

[12Goblins]

one of those movies that is much better than the trailer

 

[Amiga]

good quality, low budget, direct to video movies are making a comeback.

 

[Hulk_Smash]

Frank Grillo for Punisher. Or at least he should have been.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Wait. There's time fuckery involved. Odds that the antagonist is the protagonist, but just older?

Good call, could very well be.

Saw this about 6 months back-shout out to my boy KiKi, dude is a complete animal and I mean that in the nicest and best way possible. Not a new premise, think Edge Of Tomorrow, mixed with Crank. It doesn’t take itself seriously, that might be an understatement. It was funnier than I expected, toeing on almost silly in a few scenes. There is a scene regarding a hit-woman and a gun belonging to a certain individual-writing this, it still makes me chuckle.

 

[HoodWinked]

what a great little movie. the way it uses the concept is incredibly clever. in a meta way.

 

[Sevenfold]

I'm a sucker for Groundhog Day movies. Edge of Tomorrow & Happy Death Day and great little offshoots of the concept. This looks daft fun. Reminds me a bit of Scott Pilgrim. I'm in.

E: Quick caveat cos I feel like I'm doing EoT a disservice. It's a fucking incredible movie.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

I'll watch it for Frank Grillo. Underrated actor. You know he's good when he made the Purge movies watchable.

Ban all seizure gifs.

Ban all seizure gifs.

Apologies. I've removed it. I like to use GIF's to express myself at times.

I’m saying that at all the seizure gif posts. Don’t take it personally.

 

[The ninja farmer]

Was pretty good for what it was

Really funny as well, certainly for my tastes. Like Groundhog Day, but with weapons

nothing world changing and you will have seen most of it before, but does what it says on the tin, the premise is cool and the film is a lot of fun

one of those movies out looks like they had a blast making and Frank grillo is as solid as ever in it

 

[EviLore]

The ninja farmer spoiler tags are enclosed with [ ], not < >. Fixed for you.

 

[Soodanim]

This looks like fun that knows it’s supposed to be fun. I’d watch it.

 

[Prison Mike]

After seeing him in kingdom im in for big frank.

 

[quickwhips]

I like frank grillo. I wish he would have been punisher after watching the purge 2.

 

[The Skull]

Looks fun as hell. I'm in.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

I like frank grillo. I wish he would have been punisher after watching the purge 2.

Wow. Never thought of him as Punisher but it is so obvious now you mention it. He was essentially playing Frank Castle in The Purge: Anarchy. An anti-hero of sorts. Jon Bernthal was great, but I would have loved to see Grillo have a go at it.

 

[Valonquar]

Watched it a while back. It's pretty fun. A lot of the effects are low budget CGI blood splatter, but it works in the movies favor somehow.

 

[Dacon]

Finally got around to watching this, fucking fantastic movie. Go watch it right now if you haven't already.

 

[sol_bad]

It's at the cinemas here so I might check it out. Minari is first on the to do list though.

 

[Kenpachii]

Great movie loved it, its a groundhog day kind of movie.

Absolute want to see the sequel where that goes.

 

[GymWolf]

I watch everything with frank grillo in it.

 

[Irobot82]

Watching now. This movie is way better than I thought it would be.

 

[sol_bad]

Do any of these duel releases have a chance at getting a sequel? How do the studios measure success?

 

[finowns]

It sucked. Mel Gibson is a heck of an actor though even working with nothing. I hope he starts directing more movies it’s a travesty we are deprived his talent.

 

[Cravis]

I loved it. Feels like something you would have seen Stallone or Schwarzeneggar star in during the early 90s. Frank Grillo kills it in it. Dude deserved to be a bigger star IMO. I will watch anything he is in.

The scenes where he kept growing closer to his son really resonated with me. I can’t lie either ....

Spoiler

The way his son would fall asleep in his lap on the park bench and Roy would just watch the world end brought a tear to my eye

Definitely one of my favorite action films to come out in a very long time.

I will say Gibson was under utilized as the villain but the focus was always on Roy. this was Frank’s show through and through.

“I am Roy and Roy has done this.”

 

[Vyse]

I just finished. Groundhog day meets deadpool. Fun stuff. Also listened to the director on Adam Carolla's podcast last week talking about their struggle to get this movie made. Glad they were able to do it. Grillo killed it. Dude is 54?, movie was made 2 years ago, and got down to 4% body fat. Insane.

 

[Kenpachii]

No idea, i hope so.

 

[Woo-Fu]

Unexpectedly good for this sort of movie.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

I disagree this movie sucked. I thought it was good for what it was. I agree about Mel though. One of the greatest. It's a shame he went of the rails and we lost out on all the movies we could of had.

 

[Shai-Tan]

whoever wrote that 30+ minutes of unbroken exposition after the intro shouldn’t be allowed to write movies. I’m continuing assuming it’s padding to make it movie length. also because It’s kind of funny hearing name actors mouth such awful dialogue

 

[HoodWinked]

Could have or could've. The movie's enjoyment relies on the premise if you don't like it then you won't like it but given the concept it was executed extremely well and the best part is the how its exceptionally meta in it's progression. The movie is essentially a player's journey to perfect a glitched speedrun.

 

[Hotty Botty]

This movie made me realize how much I missed Mel Gibson.

And holy shit, Grillo got absolutely ripped.

 

[sw0mp_d0nk3y]

Solid entry in the time loop genre. Had fun the whole way through. I did think the ending was a bit weird though... He had to relive the day 1 more time without a redo? Sounds cool, but why would that be the case, and wouldn't he still have to enter the machine at the end or the day, which would once again make him relive the day 1 more time?
