[@kennylane9095]

I love/respect your humility and honesty in your videos. So many of the videos put out by people, many of whom I respect greatly, only show everything as, "I went through this exact situation and I know exactly everything about it" which, if true, does not help explain critical thought about the situation, or, what I fear may be happening in some cases, is extraordinary people afraid to say they don't know everything. I never trust anyone that knows everything. I hope that does not seem like a criticism of anyone telling their story. Again, respect for all armed services but it does not educate us civilians about the truth of combat/survival/success and the experiences you went through serving our country if the truth is not presented accurately. I watch you guys because you respect the truth and NEVER claim knowledge that has not been learned or earned. I know you are likely not to see this but thank you for your service, education, and also entertainment you are providing. When I can afford it, and you have openings, I am enrolling in your program!

The one thing I really appreciated in this movie is Ana De Armas is’ fight scenes. Her character is obviously competent in fighting but they don’t do what Hollywood does nowadays by making the women be able to take down 200+ pound men. She gets her ass kicked thoroughly in this film in a semi-realistic way but still is able to sort of hold her own. Kudos for that “realism”.

[@JaneSmith-so6hw]

Yeah, that's what I was about to comment, but you summed it up perfectly. She gets her ass kicked, but is consistently putting up a decent fight. No spoilers, but the last fight scene with her was great, literally a tug of war, which concluded realistically. Such a fun movie and small/clever nuances that made it more than dumb/fun action.

Actually, in Europe, when you have like this World-Heritage-Site level estate or castle, it's almost De Rigueur to have a shrub maze. (I took a year off my undergrad to backpack and hitchhike across Europe.) It's bizarre, but it's like ultra-wealthy estates in the US all have a garden.

[@josefkun7466]

To me as a Czech it was funny how basically everytime you see a shot of a city its always Prague and they just CGIed the famous building from the city its supposed to portray (like the tower in berlin) in the background.

[@scottmcdonald8600]

Gray Man was absolutely crazy the Prague shootout was over the top nuts. Have you guys done a beers and breakdowns on Uncommon Valor? It's an older movie but it's about a POW rescue mission.

I kind of felt like I had to make a comment about the Vets Office thing, I was born in a Vets office in Panama. My father was a US Army Ranger and my mother a native, who didn't want to make the trip on the back of a Donkey the week she was expected to deliver. So when she started going into labor, she went to the only person who had any medical training in the area: the local vet. The guy had never delivered a human child before and told her that she could still make it to the hospital, even offering to driver her himself. She said no and kind of just threw money at him to do it. I was born on the surgery table in the back of his building and named after paper towels "Scott".

[@1sttimegunowner]

So glad you guys joked about seans AR mistake i would of loved to see the live behind the scenes after that whole ordeal.

[@codywatson770]

This movie was pretty bad ass but the book "The Gray Man" by Mark Greaney is 100 times better, they totally restructured the story line to give Billy Bob a bigger role Gentry was on the run for a decade or more before the international hit team rat race began

The fuse on a grenade isn't an electronic thing, the m67 anyway. It's a burning fuze and therefore a little sporadic depending on different factors. I know the new one they are working on (ET-MP) it is supposed to be an electronic timed down to the millisecond.

Ok, 1. Everybody knows that the second pane of glass straightens out the deflection of the round from the first pane. Duh. And, 2.

If they come out with a sequel, I hope he comes back, because he wasn't like a normal bad guy. He was just trying to get paid and decided it wasn't worth it toward the end. For Fast and Furious, you guys have to break down 6. The one in the UK. Perfect mix of when it just starts getting ridiculously unrealistic, but still entertaining.
