You knew the ending probably when you saw the trailer but definitely halfway through the film. All the while wondering how you got there. I like the idea of making Livley's character a reluctant assassin. She played the heartbreak and the torment very well. I feel the film just cut out too much of the story in favor of longer action sequences. (I understand this is why you go see a film like this) The switch from reluctant assassin to remorseless killer happens off screen??? Why??? We watched her bumble and stumble for two hours so that she could finally put it all together in a 3 minute seen at the end. I am lame and watch movies for the "Triumphant payoff", at the end I didn't really feel that with Lively's character. The story telling wasted an incredible acting job by Lively. She put her soul into this film only for the actual film to have none.
