There's this guy in full body armor, right, and only his chin is not covered.
First he's got this bomb exploding right next to his head .. not a scratch on him.
Later on, he takes a point blank shotgun blast to his chest, yet again his chin remains intact.

Movie's OK, not bad, but it's still bugging me how nobody cared to explain the chin problem.

It's Fiction, why should it be realistic? Directors rely on "Suspension of Disbelief", and yours seems a rather mild example. I bet the explosive action itself is far more unrealistic than the chin.

I've had 3 weeks of covid last month, and went through this phase of just watching eye chewing gum beyond a certain hour of the day. My brain became allergic to thinking

. Thinking was painful - so painful I could binge watch 'drive to survive' on Netflix.

I hope you're fully better.
It's no fun thinking about possible lasting consequences, esp. when you're past your prime (that's me btw).

I haven't been watching much TV/movies/shows at all recently, just some SciManDan (youtube). I wish I could say I read more, instead I code more, and that's OK too.

Fiction can look better, if you had seen Terminator the damage is clearly visible on him.
Even the old chinman was more realistic, I can't say I've ever noticed that his chin's made of solid steel.
But TBH the old one was an agile dude who dodges a lot, this new one's more like a tank, can't dodge nothing.

You may also look at:
That dirty black bag.

A modern day spaghetti western type show, with British actors. Little more gore that Lee VanCleef, Charlie Bronson, and Clint had though.

First episode for a look;

A metal man? That made me laugh out loud! Very realistic!
No disrespect though, Terminator movies were great.

Just wondering about this. I have a very negative view of Big Oil in the Excited States - along the lines of buying politicians & ruining the earth for short term gain. What view does the series take?

Preview it. Stream a little bit of it in smaller format, instead of downloading it. It's Frontline. If you have ever seen one of those.

Code:

yt-dlp -f 18 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QAAbcNl4Lb8 -o - | ffplay -

Or

Code:

Hope that you are all better from Covid. I have managed to stay away from it.

I'll have to start into it, because you aren't giving me much

I grabbed it in parallel downloads.

Yes thanks, I'm fully over Covid. But I was off exercising for a month, so that set my walking right back and I have to build that up here from scratch - that's the downside of it.

I didn't include your link. According to imdb user reviews, it's 3/10 - 4/10, an Oscar wannabe and gross.

I never watch any of this, but by the posts on this thread, all of you like action/adventure/scifi, recent stuff.

I started into that Big Oil thing. I forgive you for tricking me into downloading it

. It seems watchable. It's an attack job, and any other posture would be pretty bad.

The problem is: If one party started to make America green again, the other party would sweep to power on a platform of undoing their reforms.
