What more could you want in a summer movie during the middle of killer heatwave? And it’s trending one Netflix!
We saw this a couple days ago. The plot line of the Hollywood trope of the evil mining company (all the bad guys are white males of course) who are willing to murder 35 people to cover up they weren't utilizing proper safety precautions was absurd, but all the actions sequences involving semi trucks was pretty novel and interesting, and the movie was at least watchable.
Like Harrison Ford in the last Indiana Jones movie, Neeson has definitely hit the point where he is too old to credibly pull off being an action star though. He just looks too old and stiff and brittle (which is fine, he is almost 70).
