In Netflix’s newest sci-fi romp, “Outside The Wire,” something of a mismatched buddy film meets generic genre actioner, a rookie infantryman is paired up with a pearls-of-wisdom-dropping, veteran cyborg-y android super soldier and early on, is told to, “think outside the box,” encouraged to improvise and break protocol when necessary. Unfortunately, neither director Mikael Håfström, nor writers Rob Yescombe and Rowan Athale, ever heed this advice, instead, delivering a rote, paint-by-numbers affair that says nothing meaningful about fighting wars or the future.

Angelique Jackson John Cena, Awkwafina and Simu Liu are set to star in the action-comedy “Grand Death Lotto” for Prime Video. Paul Feig will produce and direct the film from a script by Rob Yescombe (“Outside the Wire”). “Grand Death Lotto” is set in the very near future, where a competition known as “the Grand Lottery” has been established in “economically challenged California.” But, as the film’s official logline explains, there’s a catch: “Kill the winner before sundown and you can legally claim their prize.” The logline continues: “New LA transplant Katie (Awkwafina) accidentally finds herself with the winning ticket and must join forces with amateur jackpot protector Noel (Cena) to make it to sundown in order to claim her multi-billion dollar prize, all while dealing with Noel’s protection rival Louis Lewis (Liu), who also wants to get her to sundown in order to claim his rich protection commission.”
