Better than expected :) It's not something to take seriously but it was quite funny :D
Apart from the badass woman as main character I had not idea what to expect but that was already intriguing enough tbh.
The whole time I was sad that Justin died and hoping that he would somehow be still alive. While watching the ending my wish obviously changed. At least it isn't sad anymore that he did actually die so maybe it's a good thing in the end (even for Lindy).
The actions scenes where pretty good but the story wasn't that interesting or engaging. The characters weren't that bad but lacked depth and got increasingly uninteresting towards the end. For a movie that seems to focus on comedy / some funny moments that seems fair though.
The ending was way too insane/overkill IMO. It seems like they want to keep the story open for a second movie but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea (it could certainly be good but after that ending I didn't really care about any of the characters anymore so that might require some extra work).
Edit: I was surprised that so many here mentioned Kate Beckinsale. Her performance was nice and she also looks good but I only remembered her from Total Recall and thought there would be many other woman who'd fit the role as well. However, I totally forgot that she also played Selene in Underworld (IIRC I surprisingly quite liked those movies due to her action scenes and cool character). I guess I should watchlist more of her movies.
