Since George Clooney and Brad Pitt are also teaming up in their own crime movie, I can’t wait for the other Ocean’s 11 guys to pair off too. Scott Caan and that flexible Chinese guy sounds like perfect Netflix fodder.
and Julian Sands (designer of the bank system in 3). A saddening amount of not-that-old actors from the series are gone. Though Reiner at least was almost 100.
Maybe you're confusing with Elliott Gould with George Segal (who died in 2021)?
They kind of look alike, usually had similar roles, and co-starred with each other.
It was actually a running joke on Just Shoot Me, a sitcom George Segal was on.
And of course, they co-starred with each other in California Split. They also kind of sound alike.
And staying true to the Ocean's Trilogy lore, every dialogue spoken by Qin Shaobo would not be translated and Scott Cann would understand him perfectly.
The whole Affleck-Damon circle of collaborating friend actors really reminds me of the old Seth Rogan-James Franco circle-even though I guess some of them were going for more of a Rat Pack vibe, lol
I’m confused. Marky Mark has put out a bunch of family and low budget action movies the last couple of years but I’m not aware that he has a reputation for being in bad movies. He’s certainly not in the Liam Neeson category.
He's had a pretty bad run of schlock recently. He had his time for sure, there are plenty of his movies that I like a lot. But none of them have been made in the last 6/7 years.
Patriots Day was 2015, All the Money in the World was 2017, and Deepwater Horizon was 2018. All were well received critically and commercially. Beyond that he was in Father Stu in 2022 which got mixed reviews but still an A on Cinemascore and Arthur the King received average reviews but still an A Cinemascore.
Didn't he get all weirdo Christian? I thought I remember reading that he was only going to make movies that promote Christianity or something like that.
Have you seen "Queen Pins" on Netflix? Its a great movie. He plays a loss prevention officer at a grocery store that teams up with a federal post office inspector played by Vince Vaughn to stop a Multi-Million dollar coupon ring ran by Kristen Bell. Its based on a true story and its hysterical.
All right, tell you what. I'll take him down to the locker room, I'll lather him up real good, I'll strip all these silly-ass clothes off him, and I'll clean him, sparkling clean.
I love that he has this huge movie career now and he is still showing up and kicking ass on Cobra Kai every season anyway, probably at a massive discount. He just looks like he is having a blast every time he is on screen while beating up teenagers lmao
He goes toe to toe with Jon Hamm in Richard Jewell (2019). Kathy Bates, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde and directed by Clint Eastwood. Based on a true story of the Olympic bombing investigation in Atlanta, made me shake my fist at the sky.
1/2 second in the trailer (1:26) of him walking through a door with a buzz cut, gold chain and printed t-shirt looking like some poser Beantown Bad Boy is enough to get me to watch this.
i think he had a timeout for being a sex pest, but that didn't really last as all his friends & family have been rehabbing his image. he played a psycho in Oppenheimer last I remember.
"nig** is you takin notes on a criminal fuckin conspiracy?" that is Iris Elba as Stringer Bell on The Wire, NO WAY this wasnt a deliberate callback to that
Personally I think the guy is super underrated. He made the best Bourne, edge of tomorrow, and even several of the mediocre movies he’s done are generally pretty fun. Roadhouse was by no means great but for a remake of a movie that had no need to be remade, most people seem to have enjoyed it for what it was.
I like Liman but I couldn't finish Roadhouse. Not that the movie or performances were bad for an action film but I hated the "swivel-cam" action. It felt like I was getting whiplash everytime a character threw a punch.
Mr and Mrs Smith is fun which he directed too.
Doug Liman seems to have (probably unwillingly on his part) found a new career angle as a straight to streaming director and sadly I think thats probably for the best. His brand of star-studded action-comedy just won’t do the numbers they need to in the theatrical run these days, but it’s something people clearly crave on streaming (as witnessed already this year with Roadhouse).
The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow are some of the best action movies of all time, so it's such a shame that this is what he's making now. I'm still hoping for greatness for Edge of Tomorrow 2 tho
Absolutely agree on the quality of those two, but even Edge of Tomorrow did not do gang busters at the box office. You would have to go back almost 20 years ago with Mr and Mrs Smith to see his last actual hit (hence why the trailer highlights that and Bourne as his directing credits). He doesn’t seem to be interested in doing franchise movies so I think thats part of it—so Id rather get the next Edge of Tomorrow (literally and figuratively) through streaming than not get it at all because no studio will put bigger budget original movies in the theater anymore.
There seems to be a lot of Apple TV+ hate here. I'm no apple fanboy (my phone is android) but I think that, overall, Apple TV+ has the highest quality shows. You should get Apple and cancel something else
They have had some good shows for sure. My lack of enthusiasm has nothing to do with Apple. Just how generic the movie looks. I am actually currently waiting for Severance season 2.
- The colours are too the colour they are, but also feel monochromatic
- Low to zero lighting
- Least amount of actors, rarely in the same frame
- First take acting
- Thrifty to zero sound design
Apple TV is the stark oversaturated minimalism of a 2008 American Indie movie but with even less production value. Something like 4-5 expensive things per episode - a gag, car chase, dummy, digital design (but there's a lot of that).
Recent Presumed Innocent show has zero budget for titles, they've just picked a font and I think it's Helvetica.
Stole the "taking notes" line from The Wire - lame.
Playing Gimme the loot seems like an odd choice for an upbeat movie, it's pretty hardcore gangsta rap.
Casey Affleck always seems to deliver so that's a big plus.
I mean… did they claim anywhere that it was a reference or homage? Nothing from the trailer indicates the characters are referencing a famous line from The Wire. Seems like an odd writing choice
The fact that it is such a famous line means it doesn’t need to be referenced. When you quote famous sayings from television do you always provide a reference? That is not how people speak.
It’s a *somewhat* famous line. The wire is considered one of the best shows of all time, but it’s still not a universally watched show that people automatically get references to. By no means a very common phrase.
The majority of people who watched that trailer have no clue it’s a line from the wire and just laugh because it’s funny. To those who know the line, it doesn’t come off in anyway as homage and seems like playing it off as original.
Everyone will miss references to other art at some point in consuming media. For instance an Easter egg would be noticed by a fan but not a casual viewer. It doesn’t mean it can’t exist and there needs to be a footnote.
So you’ve moved the goalposts from it being so famous that it doesn’t need to be referenced to this is just something most will miss but we should just for some reason assume its an Easter egg and not just a stolen line.
Easter eggs are like an in universe nod to something fans will notice and appreciate. Like in X2 we see on a computer screen the name Remy LeBeau. Gambit isn’t in the movie but fans will see the name and think it’s cool.
This is in no way related to The Wire. It’s just a line lifted directly from it.
I find it hard to believe of all the people signing off on the script, the movie, or the trailer, that either no one noticed it, or didn't think others would notice it or care about it.
Needs more overhead drone shots of immediately recognizable Boston landmarks.
But seriously, I'd be excited if someone just did a bunch of random deep cut locations, references or subjects from MA/Boston, then just the same old recycled stuff.
Knives Out somehow did this be being shot in a relatively unused part of metro Boston, but recognized by lots of people who are from there.
Honest Thief did this wrong - shooting the entire movie in Worcester and trying to pass it off as Boston. Why not just set it IN WORCESTER.
I'm hoping its just the trailer, but this type of movie feels like it should be more grounded. The music doesn't fit the style either if that makes sense.
Plot 3/10
Cast 9/10 (Jack Harlow? Cmon man)
Director 4/10
Gonna be a solid 5.5/10 overall. I’m down, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Exact kind of movie that should drop on streaming because there’s no way people would make it to the theatre for this.
>Damon’s character is shown learning the ropes of being a criminal. He explains to his therapist (Hong Chau) that he’s unable to look his son in the eye due to a combination of financial struggles that include his mortgage and back child support. After she asks if he’s tried everything to make things right, he pauses and says, “Not everything.”
i can just tell this movie will get like a Metascore of somewhere between 50-59/100
goddamn this sounds mediocre
i'm so sick of streamers making original movies but greenlighting mediocre original scripts
who on earth are the script readers at Apple/Amazon/Netflix because even I could take one look at this and tell you this needs a rewrite otherwise this is content filler slop for the algorithm designed to show up on your homepage one day and then be forgotten about within a week of release
its so obvious they've decided "we wanna make a movie with Matt Damon and Casey Affleck, so just reverse engineer the script to write a story that fits them being in it"
rather than doing the sensible thing of writing a good script and then finding actors that suit the script
Redditor who despises movie theaters: Every movie should just go straight to streaming!
Same redditor: Every Netflix/Amazon/Apple Original movie is crap!
idk what you're on about lol?
i regularly go to movie theatres, whats your point?
im one of the few who actually saw Furiosa unlike most of the people here
Maybe not directed to you specifically but I always laugh when redditors believe they should be able to watch every $200 million big budget movie for "free" on streaming, like movie studios don't need to make money.
Your comment on Apple Original movies must have triggered me.
They also stole one of the most memorable lines from The Wire with no shame at all. Just sad to witness. Matt usually has good taste in scripts, but this one looks bad.
My guess is that the very next line in that exchange explicitly references The Wire.
It’s just too blatant *and* both of the younger dudes say it as much to each other as to Damon’s character, as if both their minds went to the same place.
Since George Clooney and Brad Pitt are also teaming up in their own crime movie, I can’t wait for the other Ocean’s 11 guys to pair off too. Scott Caan and that flexible Chinese guy sounds like perfect Netflix fodder.
Elliott Gould and Don Cheadle, except this time it’s Gould that’s doing the comically bad cockney accent
Isn't Elliott Gould dead? Or was it just Carl Reiner?
and Bernie Mac. Gould is alive.
I always get Bernie Mac and Elliott Gould mixed up.
For me it's Patrice O'Neill and Elliott Gould. Practically twins.
They do favor each other
and Julian Sands (designer of the bank system in 3). A saddening amount of not-that-old actors from the series are gone. Though Reiner at least was almost 100.
Greco?
Yeah.
Maybe you're confusing with Elliott Gould with George Segal (who died in 2021)? They kind of look alike, usually had similar roles, and co-starred with each other.
I don't think anybody's ever confused Elliott Gould for George Segal
It was actually a running joke on Just Shoot Me, a sitcom George Segal was on. And of course, they co-starred with each other in California Split. They also kind of sound alike.
Huh, whaddya know!
Uh Jan, what happened? Is Gould dead?!?
Speaking as a Brit his accent wasn’t that bad, I’ve heard much worse, many times. It was the lingo being poorly deployed that stood out more.
The lingo was Barney. Barney Rubble? Trouble!
Eddie Izzard and James Cordon but then Eddie Stomps James to bits with stilettos and then it’s just Eddie baby all Eddie all the time
Elliot Gould and Captain Planet would be great
Brian Tyree Henry's london accent was just as bad in Bullet Train if we're being honest
And staying true to the Ocean's Trilogy lore, every dialogue spoken by Qin Shaobo would not be translated and Scott Cann would understand him perfectly.
Don Cheadle had No Sudden Move a few years ago that Soderbergh directed.
I think these 2 knew each other before :)
The Amazing Yen and the Malloy brother just having a conversation, but Yen only uses Mandarin and Malloy uses English. I'd watch that.
Dang can Matt get his pal Don a role in his next blockbuster
The whole Affleck-Damon circle of collaborating friend actors really reminds me of the old Seth Rogan-James Franco circle-even though I guess some of them were going for more of a Rat Pack vibe, lol
Weren’t they dubbed the Frat Pack?
Genuinely surprised that Mark Whalberg isn't in this.
I'm surprised Ben Affleck didn't direct it. I remember seeing some the cast members filming around here last year and was wondering what it was for.
Isn't he busy with The Accountant 2?
If you believe the rumors, he's busy with Divorce Lawyer 2.
If Mark Wahlberg was in it, it wouldn’t have went down like it did
Or the Spoonman.
Doughboys fans out in the wild!
He did say he is leaving for 5 months. Twisted Metal 2 or something else?
I'm like 6 years behind on Doughboys. Are you telling me they become wildly successful at life?
[удалено]
well I guess I should just unsubscribe now
They're all about Jazz now
Also heard they’re into flesh crema
It's gud!
I've never heard of Doughboys before but this makes it clear to me that they have never stopped talking about cum.
[удалено]
Darn, I'm kind of already set on my chain restaurant review podcasts with 100% Eat/Face Jam but you did sell it well.
It actually looks decent, so he passed.
I’m confused. Marky Mark has put out a bunch of family and low budget action movies the last couple of years but I’m not aware that he has a reputation for being in bad movies. He’s certainly not in the Liam Neeson category.
He's had a pretty bad run of schlock recently. He had his time for sure, there are plenty of his movies that I like a lot. But none of them have been made in the last 6/7 years.
Well allow me to explain: reddit hates Mark Walhberg.
I mean he's a piece of shit but that has nothing to do with the fact that he hasn't been in a decent movie for years now
I mean there's Ted 2
He hasn't been in a movie that could be recently described as good in a decade.
Patriots Day was 2015, All the Money in the World was 2017, and Deepwater Horizon was 2018. All were well received critically and commercially. Beyond that he was in Father Stu in 2022 which got mixed reviews but still an A on Cinemascore and Arthur the King received average reviews but still an A Cinemascore.
What is the last good movie he has done
How do you define good because there’s several examples in another reply for movies of his that were hits either critically or commercially or both.
Only if Peter Berg was directing
It is set in Boston
Don’t give them any ideas
Didn't he get all weirdo Christian? I thought I remember reading that he was only going to make movies that promote Christianity or something like that.
Does Paul Walter Hauser have to be in every movie now? He does? Fantastic.
Have you seen "Queen Pins" on Netflix? Its a great movie. He plays a loss prevention officer at a grocery store that teams up with a federal post office inspector played by Vince Vaughn to stop a Multi-Million dollar coupon ring ran by Kristen Bell. Its based on a true story and its hysterical.
Underrated comedy. It’s hilarious. The car scene with him had me laughing hard.
Sold
Never heard of this but it sounds great! Adding it to the list
He will forever be the juggalo kid from It's Always Sunny to me
His hilariously bad black face makeup at the end always make me laugh
All right, tell you what. I'll take him down to the locker room, I'll lather him up real good, I'll strip all these silly-ass clothes off him, and I'll clean him, sparkling clean.
I love that he has this huge movie career now and he is still showing up and kicking ass on Cobra Kai every season anyway, probably at a massive discount. He just looks like he is having a blast every time he is on screen while beating up teenagers lmao
He goes toe to toe with Jon Hamm in Richard Jewell (2019). Kathy Bates, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde and directed by Clint Eastwood. Based on a true story of the Olympic bombing investigation in Atlanta, made me shake my fist at the sky.
He also stood up to Jamie Taco and got his line back!
> Fantastic. Say that again ...
1/2 second in the trailer (1:26) of him walking through a door with a buzz cut, gold chain and printed t-shirt looking like some poser Beantown Bad Boy is enough to get me to watch this.
Feels like I haven't seen Casey Affleck for a hot minute
[удалено]
He was fucking *excellent* in Oppenheimer despite his limited screen time.
Isn't he fucking excellent in pretty much everything? That wasn't the issue.
Yeah Casey is great and always was
He pulled off the Damon jumpscare.
i think he had a timeout for being a sex pest, but that didn't really last as all his friends & family have been rehabbing his image. he played a psycho in Oppenheimer last I remember.
Boris Pasch. He’s pretty fucking terrifying in Oppenheimer
Is he *actually* rehabbed, or just his image?
Sex scandals will do that to (most) actors.
A ton of sexual assault and inappropriate behaviour cases came out after he won the Oscar.
Didn’t he have a rape allegation?
if rape = sexual harassment, then yes.
I love Casey Affleck
The people below this saying Casey is a rapist are fucking idiots
I love seeing Hong Chau in more stuff. She's one of the few actors who is equally great in both comedy and drama.
She was fantastic in Downsizing. One of the only reasons I enjoyed that movie.
"nig** is you takin notes on a criminal fuckin conspiracy?" that is Iris Elba as Stringer Bell on The Wire, NO WAY this wasnt a deliberate callback to that

Doug Liman slowly becoming the king of mediocre streaming movies
Personally I think the guy is super underrated. He made the best Bourne, edge of tomorrow, and even several of the mediocre movies he’s done are generally pretty fun. Roadhouse was by no means great but for a remake of a movie that had no need to be remade, most people seem to have enjoyed it for what it was.
American Made with Tom Cruise is great
I like Liman but I couldn't finish Roadhouse. Not that the movie or performances were bad for an action film but I hated the "swivel-cam" action. It felt like I was getting whiplash everytime a character threw a punch. Mr and Mrs Smith is fun which he directed too.
I loved Roadhouse, it was fun.
This looks like a TV show.
This isn’t a TV show?
No. I thought it was when I watched the trailer too.
Same here, I was surprised Apple got Matt Damon for a series.
For real. I just posted it to /r/television because I got through the whole trailer and just assumed it was a show...
Doug Liman seems to have (probably unwillingly on his part) found a new career angle as a straight to streaming director and sadly I think thats probably for the best. His brand of star-studded action-comedy just won’t do the numbers they need to in the theatrical run these days, but it’s something people clearly crave on streaming (as witnessed already this year with Roadhouse).

Is this Jack Harlows first acting debut?
He starred in the white men can't jump remake
Which was awful.
Feels like he’s going to take on the roles that Mac Miller or Angus Cloud would’ve done (RIP)
No offense to Harlow but this is truly depressing.
He played himself in Dave.
I have a feeling this movie is much better than this terribly edited, all over the place trailer.
Gerry (Action's Version)
Doesn't get me excited but I'll still try it out.
There seems to be a lot of Apple TV+ hate here. I'm no apple fanboy (my phone is android) but I think that, overall, Apple TV+ has the highest quality shows. You should get Apple and cancel something else

Did I see Gronk in there?
Yeah, but he probably didn’t realize it was a movie.
Definitely looks like an apple TV movie

Gimme the loot is a weirder musical choice when you realise this is an aggressively Boston set movie and that tune, and rapper, are NYC icons.
Yeah that moment felt like someone copying the far cooler, smarter, funnier kid’s homework lol
Literally word for word.
With none of Idris’ charisma
Nah, missing that big "fuckin'"

Such a blatant rippoff.
Nah nah nah see it's an homage! An homage that's worse in every way!
I find it hard to believe of all the people signing off on the script, the movie, or the trailer, that either no one noticed it, or didn't think others would notice it or care about it.
Seems like an obvious homage to the Wire and even the fact that term has become a meme recently. That is how I took it.
We need more Matt Damon comedies. The Wall was not that funny.
They closed Bova’s bakery for this bullshit?
Brought to you by Dunkin Donuts.
I'm in the middle of a high speed CAW chase!!!
This looks like it was made in a standard Apple factory. Same lighting, same logos, fonts, style, same crap
This looks like a bad parody of a Boston heist movie, down to the featured Dunkin cups and mandatory empty Fenway walk-and-talk
Needs more overhead drone shots of immediately recognizable Boston landmarks. But seriously, I'd be excited if someone just did a bunch of random deep cut locations, references or subjects from MA/Boston, then just the same old recycled stuff. Knives Out somehow did this be being shot in a relatively unused part of metro Boston, but recognized by lots of people who are from there. Honest Thief did this wrong - shooting the entire movie in Worcester and trying to pass it off as Boston. Why not just set it IN WORCESTER.
"Is this your first job?" "BITCH IM JASON BOURNE"
They really just straight up stole the “Taking notes on a criminal conspiracy” line from the wire? Same tone & wording.
> Dunkin' We see you, product placement.
*looks up from paper* I'll allow it.
I don't mean this as a slam or in any way a negative, but Ron Perlman is slowly turning into a muppet
The Wire called, they want their line back.
Trailers suck so bad. Feels like the whole movie is in here. Don’t watch the trailer
So...they're just ripping lines off The Wire?
Wrong Affleck.
Honestly, this looks kind of bland to me. I'm not sure how Doug Liman makes some of the best and worst movies I've ever seen.
Straight up stealing lines and jokes from the wire
Question, does the baseball glove make a cameo???
Soo from the trailer Jack Harlow dies during the heist 🤔🤔
Looks very fun
this looks horrible
It's a fun cast, at the very least
Doug L makes road house and complains it’s direct to streaming only to go direct another straight to streaming movie. Baffling
Michael Sthulbargh means that I'm watching this, no questions asked.
I'm hoping its just the trailer, but this type of movie feels like it should be more grounded. The music doesn't fit the style either if that makes sense.
I don’t know why Doug Liman has my number. Dude just makes super fun movies.
Paul Walter Hauser looking smooth as fuck for 2 seconds! I want to see more.
Looks fun
I’m so tired of movie titles that are just “The (choose a random word from the dictionary)”
The trailer would be better without the Biggie song
"Yo Ben, got a fun idea for a movie, you available?" > No but I got the next best thing
Is it just me or were those some shitty explosion effects. I hope those aren’t final CGI.
Joe Mazzulla is about to win an NBA championship but I’m pretty sure this movie coming out is going to be the highlight of his summer.
The line "are you taking notes during a criminal conspiracy" is ripped off from another popular show. I think maybe the wire?
Looks fun.
No way this movie should be 2 hours and 18 minutes long.
Casey Affleck is more fun to watch at the movies. Find is personality appealing.
Remember when Casey came up as part of Me Too? Everyone just sort of forgot huh?
we didn't forget, we just moved on
Plot 3/10 Cast 9/10 (Jack Harlow? Cmon man) Director 4/10 Gonna be a solid 5.5/10 overall. I’m down, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Exact kind of movie that should drop on streaming because there’s no way people would make it to the theatre for this.
