When Anthony finally gets to play as Captain America
18 January 2021
Outside the wire is an averaga action/war movie. Some of the gun fights are pretty well done. The film tried to show the human internal conflict by putting a drone pilot into the front line, but the overall presentation fell short because the protagonist is just completely useless for the first 1.5h of the film (even though it was done on purpose), which also created a plot hole that for the last 30 mins of the film the mentioned useless drone pilot is able to travel deep behind enemy line alone. While the plot specifically said at the very beginning that nowhere is safe once they are outside the military base.

Anthony finally got to play as Captain America in this movie, who is able to take down teams of elite soldiers single handedly in some cool gun fights, but at the end is not able to take down a rookie soldier.

Other than the very bizarre sharp change of the protagonists' performance in this film which makes the plot laughable, it's an entertaining movie.
