Interceptor It’s a popcorn production, but made with moist corn, tasteless sugar, expired lard, and used oil. So Chris Hemsworth (Thor when he works for wonder) is one of the manufacturers of this vehicle’s Netflix for his wife, the Spaniards Elsa Pataky (Elena in the saga Fast & Furious).

We see. If Russia sends a nuclear missile to the United States, it teaches us Interceptora film that has risen higher than a missile among the most viewed movies on Netflix this, its opening weekend, takes 24 minutes to hit North American territory.

Nobody makes it clear whether it takes the same amount of time to get to Los Angeles on the west coast, closer to Russia, than to New York on the east coast. Well, it doesn’t matter, they lost it, they didn’t think about it. But there are two American anti-missile bases. And the two of them have 12 minutes to fire and intercept nuclear missiles.

Fast, furious and deadly.  This is JJ when it comes to defending the country.  I mean.  Netflix photos

One, Greely, is in Alaska, but it looks like there were infiltrators and they took out everyone, so if there is an attack, only the other remains. SBX-1, located in the Pacific Ocean, in the middle of nowhere.

Captain JJ Collins (Elsa Pataky) arrives at the SBX-1 show, but right, huh? before they find out that someone has stolen missiles in Russia.

JJ points.  And behind it, on the other side of the door, is the terrorist.

“All women are proud of what you’ve done,” an ensign treats you. “I always believed you,” her superior tells her. What happened? It’s easy to predict, and we’ll soon find out anyway: She was sexually harassed by a very high-ranking general, she didn’t keep quiet, and instead of supporting her, the military ignored him.

But at 7 minutes – for the clock, eh – we already know everything. In other words, don’t get up to go to the bathroom or refrigerator from the start of the movie until JJ leaves his cabin, when his boss tells him to come with him and bring a gun.

"How good you are," he says to the bad guy on duty.  It refers to the size of the physique.  However, JJ beats him.

JJ, who soon wears a sleeveless white T-shirt, until she wears a bulletproof vest with a huge US flag on her chest, is an immigrant, which is no small feat when someone throws in her face that she preferred the US before. , not those of today, with so many immigrants …

But the film can have another reading (?), On the relationship that the protagonist and her antagonist – the terrorist son of the US ambassador to the United Nations – have with their respective parents. And, of course, it’s also a constant race against time.

Immigrants.  Both JJ (born in Spain, like actress Elsa Pataky) and the corporal who accompanies her (she is Indian).

Will the good military reinforcements arrive in time? The terrorist will take control of the control room, so JJ doesn’t press the red button he says Launch (throw), in big letters and in red, so you don’t get confused?

Loose writing of documents

The script is so simple, and it’s so role-free (huh) that repetitive dialogue is allowed.

“You say they stole 16 ICBMs?” asks another subordinate, when JJ said just that, in case someone got up in the bathroom or went to the fridge because we said there was nothing to be done.

Luke Bracey is Alexander, capable of killing 300 million Americans for $ 30 million.

Or when Collins’ superior does not believe the missiles are real, and decrees that “If it had been real, the Pentagon would have called us …”. He hears a “ring” and, in the next shot, what rings is a red phone.

There are more fixed phrases, triumphalistic or super patriotic, such as “Only we can prevent the end of the United States”, “You don’t understand why we joined the army” and many, many coincidences. For example, thank goodness that JJ has been asked to bring his gun, or if JJ says “We have to look at the sewers”, who immediately jumps from there, pushed like a spring? A tough Asian who fights like Bruce Lee.

Elsa Pataky.  Her husband, Chris Hemsworth, has a special stake.

Interceptor, which is marketed as a film about women’s empowerment – which presides over the United States and will fully trust JJ when she, almost alone, has to face terrorists, is also a woman -, is unsustainable in its structure and gives equal the sex of the actor. Nobody can save her.

Neither patakyshowing strong combat training or pointing a gun in the eye, and neither does her husband, Chris Hemsworthwho produces it and appears as a bearded TV salesman, almost unrecognizable in a couple of situations.

I have Interceptor scene after the credits? Yes. Is it worth waiting for the credits to end up watching it? And no.

How not worth seeing.
