With this cast, it should've been a much better movie! A lot of people are comparing it to John Wick. While I saw similarities with JW and Kill Bill and the list goes on, I believe it wanted a Smoking Aces style. It failed. Miserably. KG's performance was robotic and emotionless. LH was doing the best with what she was given. MY, AB and CG did well in the short period they had with it. Same with PG. Let me say that I'm a big fan of ALL the actors I listed. But, the writer, director and editor must have been on a amphetamine bender. The script failed at giving us a character to care about or cheer for. I don't believe this film knew what it was. Personally, I believe the goal was (maybe) John Wick, Jason Bourne, Kill Bill meets Smoking aces. I would rate 5.5 if allowed. Unlike a few comments re: Women=good Men=Bad, I feel like this movie resisted the temptation to tear men down to elevate women. It could've gone there. But, (for the most part) resisted the overt pandering that other reviews stated. It's not a bad movie. It's not a good movie either. And what's with clearing stating rules by characters then, immediately breaking them as if they'd forgotten what they just established for the viewer?! If you're bored and need some mindless distraction, give it a watch. I've seen worse.
