Yet Another Female Assassin Headliner. The Roots Date Back to Luc Besson's "Nikita" (1990.
Besson Unleashed a "Girls With Guns" Post-Modern Juggernaut.
A Revival of the Low-Budget Exploitation of the Drive-In-Grind-House Genre of the 70's.
This One has a Hard-Bodied, Straight Up and Down Maggie Q, who at 40 Something is a Sight to Behold.
Michael Keaton Plays a Surprisingly Effective, Against-Type "Action" Slick in a Suit.
His Banter with Q is a Highlight Amongst the Hard-Nosed Hit and Kick Thrills, with a Copious Amount of Explosions and Bad-Guys.
Not Much New Here, Except for the Unexpected Keaton & Q Confrontations.
The Meilu is Dreary, Third-World Dread and the Tone only Occasionally Deviates from the Dire.
Overall it's Mostly a Dark Landscape.
It's Despicable Evil Killers with the Purely Innocent in Short Supply.
This Makes for a Slightly Different Affair from the Usual Affair of High-Gloss, Big-Budget, Female-Force that has been so Trendy in Recent Years.
Underrated and Action Fans Should Certainly Give it a Go.
