Viewing Notes

A soft 6 out of ten for this Jesse V penned and directed story about this martyr. Noting that he wrote it bc that’s the weakest element and which everything else hinges upon to make this work. The action, blood and violence plus a very committed Olga Kurylenko will only go so far. This plays more like Lady Braveheart without the soul.
