What a great movie! What movies should be like. This needs to be viewed in theaters! Highly recommend.
I mean, really, what a cast! Karen Gillian! Lena Headey! Michelle Yeoh! Angela Bassett! Serious butt kicking action ladies! The premise is somewhere between KILL BILL and Film Noir (without the voice over). Life is cheap, violence is the norm, one girl can take out 29 heavily armed men. The whole film is hyperbolic, the mood is darkly humorous. A good way to waste some time not thinking. I give the film a 7(good) out of 10. [Action]
B movie that was cringy in spots and a lot of fun in others. Leave brain at door and enjoy yourself. You'll know right away if this is the type of movie for you. 5.8 for me (rounds up to 6 and I consider a 6 a "good" movie. Or if not good in the traditional sense, a fun movie.) Some consider 5-6 a poor score.
Some fun kills both slo-mo and reg speed. I enjoy the style of these, but the dialogue could get real bad in spots and the two hours did feel longer than it needed to. Gillan did a good job.
There's a stereotype that campy crime, especially with a high amount of violence, is a man's movie. If this has been an all male cast? I'm betting way more 9 than 7. Star studded cast, because more and more women want these hero/anti hero roles.
It's not Oscar material, but it's entertaining as hell with a strong female cast with a strong pro female message. Doctor Who fans will probably love it. Amy Pond back and kicking butt.
