Exterritorial

The story line has been done before so basically it's the delivery that can make it a good or bad movie. In this case, the action, the emotions, and overall acting was spot on.

First off the main character is painted as a grueling soldier and through the movie you can see why but at the same token she takes a beating! She you praise her for her determination and strength.

When it comes to the story, it was well written. At first it was corny at best ( bad wording I know) but then in the end it ties in nicely and everything is explained with no loose ends. So I won't spoil anything but just watch till the end and you can see how it plays!

So yes, recommend on a rainy day.

I think watching this movie is anyway a complete waste of time. They make you feel the USA consulate in Germany is less secure than any supermarket in the city! So disappointing.

I guess the idea of the movie was really nice but I guess if could have been in a more "realistic" professional way!

The actors did their best I guess but they needed more support from the director.

What I liked about the movie is the originality of the movie , so idea was somehow new and creative. It could have been utilized in a much better way. But we unfortunately felt so disappointed by the sequence of events.

Casting-Acting 3/10: Probably shopped around for actors at a Walmart parking lot, cause they struggle to convey believable joy, sorrow, or even anger-leaving key moments feeling hollow. Can't really decide who was the worst, cause they were all pretty bad.

Realism 3/10: Borderline stupid. Nothing makes sense throughout the movie. For example, do you remember when someone broke into your room, pinned you down and you got a clean chance to leave and call for help, but you decided... what the heck.. lets stay with the stranger and help her for no apparent reason.

Plot 4/10: Could be interesting, but it's not. It has so many holes and unrealistic events that makes it hard to keep it interesting.

Dialogues 2/10: I could probably give it a go, and write better lines than what the movie writers managed to come up with.

Choreography 3/10: Well... it's bad. Unwatchable really... just skip through to the next idiotic scene.

Checking out this movie to see Lera who will star in One Piece and I wasn't disappointed with her supporting role here now on to the main movie... it's not bad at all? Slow start but it flows quickly after.

I read some reviews so I was prepped to watch some unrealistic fight scenes but honestly I think they did good with grounding it. Jeanne Goursand has a fit body compared to Gal Gadot who played Wonder Woman but didn't have the muscles for it. Jeanne isn't so muscular but is well defined so I can believe she can fight. While she fought several times through the course of the film she never really fought too many at a time and honestly she always just barely wins. Girl was black and bruised each time so I applaud them for it. She's not superwoman downing her opponent with no issue.

Now the plot itself is predictable this isn't rocket science. We've seen movies like this already a parent out to save their child. So yeah that's out of the way don't look for anything deep in here. There's some questionable moments some are answered in the end but some are meh. Acting is okay overall it's not something they'll win awards for but they worked for this kind of film.

So overall if you're just in it for the action and simpleness I think you'll have a fun time. There's a lot of movement during fight scenes which I really liked. It gave that fluid feel to it. They're not shy with the blood and making it messy. I had a good time with this.

I cannot accept this movie's premise as it is. We know that this single-parent mom, a German white woman, a former Special Forces soldier, loves her son so much after her husband died. We can understand how she loves her son. But at the very beginning of this movie, this supposedly well-trained, very lethal Special Forces soldier proves herself not to be a careless person. She is not as good as an ordinary housewife and mother. She almost lost her kid in the subway when she was talking on the phone. Then she commited a more ser serious and unforgivable mistake in the American Embassy. She allowed her little kid to play in the playroom, alone, and left to go checking out her appointment. There's no other parents in that playroom when she left. How possible? It's like you leave a child in an unattended vehicle, or leave a kid in a nobody around playground in a park.

In order to create the leading role losing her child in a security-tight American Embassy, the screenplay writer and director, Christian Zübert, has decided to give us such a ridiculous scenario, a highly unlikely and impossible premise.
