This Super Intense New Movie Just Hit Netflix's Top 10 (& It’s Easy to See Why)
Set in 2036 during a civil war in Ukraine, Outside the Wire follows Lieutenant Harp, a drone pilot who gets sent into a war zone and assigned to Captain Leo. However, Harp makes a shocking discovery about the captain and, together, the two must find a way to stop a deadly nuclear attack.
In addition to Mackie, the film stars Damson Idris, Emily Beecham, Michael Kelly and Pilou Asbæk. The film was directed by Mikael Håfström and produced by Mackie, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Ben Pugh, Erica Steinberg, Jason Spire and Arash Amel.
As seen in the trailer, the film has its fair share of massive explosions and shoot-outs, but there's actually a lot more to the flick than intense action scenes. Movie critic Randy Myers calls it "an efficient, fast-paced rollercoaster ride that's smart and buoyed by a razor-sharp screenplay and two magnetic performances." Meanwhile, Patrick McDonald said the film is a mix of Terminator and Rambo, adding that there's a "morality to drones & robots waging war."
Guess our plans for tonight will involve a wealth of snacks and a viewing of Outside the Wire.
