Scarlett

Potential to be great but never getting there.

The protagonist of the movie while skilled in self-defence and firearms is also extremely dumb tactically. The character made too many mistakes for someone who's supposed to have been prepared and trained all her life to keep safe and stay alive. Maybe the father should have put in the hours to do some intellectual training, to go with her physical training.

She kept making obvious mistakes, after mistakes, after mistakes as the movie went on. This made it soooo frustrating to watch. In the end, I started hating the character.

Her dad on the other hand is one cool S. O. B.

SUMMARY: The movie was a tad predictable, and bringing nothing new to the genre, but had moments of goodness (not brilliance).

VERDICT: Its watchable (albeit frustratingly so) on a dull boring day.

It's too damn long for no reason and a little cheesy, but damn it, it's not a bad movie, I've seen much worse and plus it has no cringey woke crap.. I'd rather watch this than any of the new Star wars trilogy.

Horrible movie. And I am not even talking of storyline and plot holes. The idea that women and children cannot kill is being too far stretched. Let the world burn but a woman will not kill. Let bad guys kill 100 people but a woman will not shoot a bad guy to save them. What are these moviemakers thinking? Morals go both ways. And her father can kill everyone. That is ok because he is a man? Nowadays there is too much snowflaking in movies. This is a prime example of it.

This is not art, this is not cinema, this is a way to pass some time. Bad guys beat the crap out of the good guys but guess who wins in the end. Scarlett as a college student takes a real stretch of the imagination. She looks like she enrolled in college after the birth of her forth child but oh she can kick.

The good news: it's available for free.

It was watchable, but there were some moments that made me cringe.

She gets in the car and pulls the battery from her phone. Ok, smart move, prevent someone from tracing you. (Um... I haven't had a phone with a removable battery in decades.) But then she uses the phone from the safehouse and is surprised when someone shows up.

We see a flashback of her and her dad at the gun range where he comments on her grouping. Then she shoots at the the two guys who show up at the house and hits a propane tank 5 feet to the left.
