POSITIVES
Premise and narrative is a bit self-aware of what it is, enjoyably simple, kinda cheesy, and may as well be straight out of a video game or a 1980s action film. You go into watching this for the many fight scenes, with a dash of exposition and background details via some effectively used flashbacks.
Provides some fun entertainment by practically having an action sequence every five minutes that showcases some solid fight choreography.
Joey King is fantastic as the title character and even does a significant amount of her own stunt work in the fights. Action star Veronica Ngo is also a welcome presence in this cast, plus I got to appreciate Dominic Cooper and Olga Kurylenko hamming it up as the villains of this story.
Makes great use of having this movie take place in one location, but still manages to provide some variety in the sets shown, that helps progress the plot forward.
The political commentary and themes are a little bit on the blunt obvious side, but considering today’s modern social climate, I’m all for it.
NEGATIVES
Premise is just a bit on the silly, exaggerated, and unbelievable variety, that’s regretfully a rather forgetful movie.
Plot isn’t exactly deep, or anything you haven’t seen before, so expect some very predictable moments.
The bloody violence might be too surprising for those thinking that this is just a fun action-adventure movie for teens.
Some will claim that this is just another man-hating feminist leaning movie.
There's a fat joke in this that seems unnecessary.
