Typical action movie.
I didn't think it was as bad as most of the reviews on the old IMDb say it is.
- Is it formulaic? Yes
- Is it unnecessarily heavy and melodramatic? Yes
- Are there silly and contrived plot holes? Yes
- Are the fight scenes ridiculous and unrealistic? Yes
But most action movies are, and do have such nonsense. (Especially with female leads.)
Reviewers are complaining Jessica Chastain is too small and skinny to be beating up men. And then they want to compare her to Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron is skinnier than Jessica Chastain. So is Angelina Jolie. It's usually ridiculous when women beat up men. But hey, that's the movies.
Jessica Chastain is beautiful, a good actress, and I think she did a good job with the fight scenes. Jess Weixler and Dianna Silvers are beautiful also.
(Geena Davis was always "meh" to me. Even in "Thelma and Louise". Good movie but Geena Davis was nothing special.)
I saw the ratings before I watched it. And being it is an action movie, I wasn't expecting much. I wasn't disappointed.
You want to be entertained by an action movie with beautiful women? I think 6 (out of 10) is a good rating.
Did you see it?
