Viewing Notes

I really want to like this film more because it has some great action scenes and terrific female leads. However, it’s marred by jarring sub-par CGI FX spliced into the action at key moments; a mostly annoying teenager central to the plot; largely poor editing around the hand-to-hand fight scenes; and a silly plot. All of that adds up to frustration that just can’t be overcome by the other great stuff going on.
