They did set it up for a sequel though. My biggest gripe was how they orgied over pulling $$$ from the walls while they knew there was still a threat running around. Five guys tearing down walls and no one watching their backs. 
Minor complaints. At least there was very little female-heartstring-pulling-BS. Biggest female roll was just hot eye-candy. I look forward to the sequel.

That box container was huge and insanely well stocked. Belt feds, etc. He had time to get it all. The consultants Netflix hired did almost everything right. Almost.

I hated this movie. Waste of my evening. Complete trash. The only part I enjoyed was when Ben Affleck took a round through the head.

The planning was not super good. And the forgoing of any kind of suppressors or NODs was dumb. But overall I really enjoyed the movie. Even Ben Affleck, who I can't stand, wasn't bad in it. The gunfights not just being one full-auto spam fest after the other was nice, too- even though I should be able to expect controlled precision fire from Specop guys in all cases, anyway. |

Couldn't guess what would happen next.
Enjoyed the movie as a whole. I would almost like to see the same cast, setting, etc, in another movie with a similar premise, but where things go right. Beginning and middle felt like Ghost Recon Wildlands. |

Watched it last night. Was entertained.
Though I will agree with having the characters do uncharacteristically stupid things knocks it some. They had a helo. No reason the money haul couldn't have been dropped, literally, in the middle of no where, split up, position recorded, remaining haul dropped at the exfil, helo refueled, and then go back for the rest. Was thinking this the whole scene where they're trying to cross the Andes overloaded which made the tension seem completely unnecessary. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I finally watched it last night.
It was bad. No real backstory or character development. Plot was holy hell. The "tactics" were weak. The dialogue was terrible. Only good part was when batman got shot in the face. Literally the only thing in the movie that was remotely a surprise. |

Didn’t understand why they didn’t use suppressors. Or why they didn’t drop the money, refuel and come back. Overall a solid action movie. |

Saw and wasn't terribly impressed.
I'll set aside the whole taking too long at the house and the overloading the helo/not dumping it before the mountain. Point of it was greed makes even rationale people do irrational things. Also the super black ops team rips off criminals trope I will nit pick

It would have been sweet if they ran into and killed the sicario dude and it was CIA $$$
Or the predator popped out. Or Alexandria Dadario was naked in it. Or if they had a .50 cal rambo 4 scene. Get better maps to go over the mt. It was better than a lot of movies I watch. |

Not bad. But I don’t understand why it didn’t end with them agreeing that going back and getting the 200 Million Dollars Would be something that they should do. Same mission as before, but without the risk. Helicopter, ropes, and a plan for laundering it. Seems fairly straightforward. |

I laughed out loud when Batfleck caught one to the brain pan. Best part of the movie. I actually like Affleck but I like him more when his characters get beat up or killed in his movies. He just has such a punchable face.
I couldn't believe how dumb they were and the mistakes they made. If they hadn't been so greedy and simply stuck to the plan everything would have been fine. I guess no good plan survives contact with a mansion full of money? |

The sourced all their weapons and gear in country on short notice. Probably wanted to get whatever they could that would draw the least attention. Grabbing some ARs and handguns, NBD.

Drop off load 1 short of the pass while the helicopter still had power to safely land and takeoff . Fly second load over pass and drop. Come back for load one. Fly load 1 to load 2 on ocean side of pass and hook both loads for remaining trip to coast. Not exactly rocket science and beats pretending physics is not thing.

Just got done watching it. Will read through this thread but had high hopes but man that was dumb.
No NVG's, didn't cover their faces. Afflect not wanting to go and get more money. He killed himself IMO by not leaving on time and that extra load caused the heli to go down. Then they all give up their share... They looked more like COD players than the real deal |

Watched it last night. I thought it was solid, wife hated it.
I think they left the money out there as a sequel opportunity. One thing that occurred to me was that Netflix should get the rights to Mack Bolan and Able Team books and make them into series like Strike Back. I’d love that. |
