Sheroes

Ezra "Waning Star" (Isabelle Fuhrman), Diamond "Crazy Hot" (Sasha Luss), Ryder "Skater Girl" (Wallis Day), and Daisy "Lost Soul" (Skai Jackson) are best friends forever. Diamond's movie superstar dad invites the girls to the vacation home in Phuket, Thailand. Jasper (Jack Kesy) is their private plane new pilot. A baggage mix-up leaves the girls with a bag full of cocaine.

This is written and directed by Jordan Gertner which is his debut for both jobs. I get what he's trying to do, but it's not fun. More than anything, the audience is looking for fun. This is not it. First, these are vapid party girls and not in a fun way. They start the movie by doing various complaints. I understand Ryder's sexist complaint and Daisy's job complaint. Diamond opens with her being "Crazy Hot" and just annoying entitlement. She's the leader and sets an infuriating tone. The bag of drugs has no explanation. The girls are the authors of their own downfall. The movie then tries to be Charlie's Angels and it's like one of the lesser of that franchise. This needs more fun, more imagination, and more appealing characters.

Right, well I was actually expecting the 2023 movie "Sheroes" to be an action comedy when I sat down to watch it. I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I wasn't really sure on just what I was getting into.

And having just sat through 91 minutes of "Sheroes", I have to say wow. Just wow! This movie, from writer and director Jordan Gertner was just a bitter pill to swallow. While the storyline started out adequately, and definitely seemed like a comedy, the movie just quickly took a turn and become an action movie. But it just didn't feel right in any way, especially since the characters were so very unlikely action heroines. They went from partying young adults to suddenly becoming highly trained ladies capable of taking down a Thai drug cartel singlehandedly, something which several countries had been unsuccessful in doing. Yeah, that was very plausible and believable.

The storyline in the movie just felt awkward, because I am sure that writer and director Jordan Gertner were fully serious about the plot, storyline, characters and the contents of the story.

While I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, I will say that the actresses and actors on the cast list actually performed adequately, despite of a very laughable script they had to work with.

If you enjoy action movies, then perhaps you would get a kick out of watching "Sheroes", if you can get past the fact that the director was fully serious about what was transpiring on the screen. I managed to sit through the movie, and found some bizarre, odd entertainment to the ludicrous plot. However, this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of writer and director Jordan Gertner's 2023 movie "Sheroes" lands on a four out of ten stars.

It's a bit like the A-Team but with a prettier cast and a less intellectual script. This film did make the A-Team exploits look fairly believable in comparison.

You can stop reading here but apparently I need to type a lot more characters to submit this review! I'm not sure whether I can keep going but, if the script writer of the film managed to keep going to the end, then I can't see why I can't.

I think they just needed someone to look at the cast and then at the script and ask themselves honestly - would I believe this if it was shown to me as a film? Maybe, after a lot of beer it might get more believable but I suspect I'd of passed out before this point.

Generic Party Girls go to rich-lead's "casa" in Thailand and mess with a drug cartel. Soon, one of them is kidnapped and they fight to get her back.

The story is REALLY simple and devoid of any depth (as you could tell from the trailers), and how the film executes and develops on that is barely coherent and not worth critiquing or discussing. I'm actually impressed with the quality of the Cinematography and Lighting, though! Nice locations too.. but the tired interactions and childish dialogue, boring personalities and bad "action" makes this a boring watch. I'd go as far as to call this an insult to the viewers, scriptwriters anywhere, and even to those fighting against Drug Cartels! Oh, and after a while of getting to know these girls (specially "Diamond"), nothing they intend as 'erotic' is remotely appealing.. it comes across as silly.

Sheroes was a bit of a mess, lets not talk about the title because a better one could have been chosen and I havent heard this many f bombs since watching tarantino. So in this movie four friends: Diamond, Ryder, Ezra and Daisy jet off in a spare of the moment holiday to thailand. The private jet looks really odd inside with sliding doors even one that goes to the cockpit. Diamonds father is rich which ezra knows about very much and they go to his villa. The girls seem to have money out of no where and jetted there without passports or telling anyone about it. Daisy and ryder are very friendly with eachother and diamond seems to want to sleep around. One of them is kidnapped and the others have to try and get her back from some drug lords. Oh and all of them seem to beable to shoot guns for some reason. There is not a lot of sense in this plot, the acting is ok but overall still an enjoyable watch for what it is.
