Ratings and reviews

Good movie, some parts didn't make sense I didn't like how naive they made her sometimes. I didn't like the ending, it's like so overly whatever-complicated. I would prefer she was not constantly set up, and kicked more butt. (Spoiler Alert) I'd actually like to see the main character's girlfriend lead in an action film, her look is bad ass. I bet she can kick butt in an action flick.

Really liked the film, definitely a true Luc Besson work. Strong female lead with great action scenes, this is a thrill to watch. A lot of films uses secondary characters' incompetence to showcase the capability of the lead, this film portrays everyone as very competent, Anna is just better and smarter. A certain other film seem like a sexy spy movie we wanted a solo Black Widow film would be, Anna delivered on that.

Better than expected. I found this movie keeping my attention and being very entertaining. This story has been told many times in movies like Nikita, point of no return or red Sparrow, but this one does add a bit of John Wick flavor without over doing it which was enough of a differentiator for me. Don't expect any awards to be won, but I felt it was a good use of my two hours.
