Dirty Angels

Somewhere deep underneath all the inexplicable absurdity, there is a brilliant comedy that wants to get out.

I am really struggling to understand what this movie tries to be. Let's gently set aside the brief CGI atrocities, the over-the-top-tropes, the obvious girlboss pandering, horrible & at times hilariously nonsensical dialogue, inconsequential character decisions & interactions, lackluster drama, laughable gunplay & tactics & the disgustingly flirtatious & ultimately nihilistic take on violence, victimhood & resolve.

Honestly, I was really hoping for the late Leslie Nielsen to pop up, wearing a tuxedo. Or a half naked Charlie Sheen, dual wielding RPG7s.

There is not one single solitary likeable character, including Eva Green, who not only can't move, let alone run, but also seems to have forgotten how to act, maybe as a courtesy to the rest of the cast.

I'm giving this pile of utterly pointless contrivance a 3/10 out of respect for the multiple efficient usage of one single, half-assed Humvee that gets blown up somewhere in the middle of the movie & yet is used throughout the whole production. He was a good boy.

Eva Green is one of those actresses that I will watch in almost anything. She was fantastic in Casino Royale and Miss Peregrine but since then her best roles have been in french movies like D'Artagnan. She still performs admirably in what is a very basic action movie.

There really is nothing new with this movie. Basic action scenes, girls trying to tough guys and some very bad dialogue. If this movie featured men it would've have Dolph Lundgren as the lead and a couple of UFC fighters in the rest of the cast.

Ruby Rose... in over ten years of acting she has not improved at all. In fact, I would say she has gotten worse. I know a lot of famous actors have made it on their looks only or by using 2 different facial expressions but it just doesn't work for her.

I wasn't expecting anything special from Dirty Angels, but I thought I may have a look as Martin Campbell did some descent movies before.

Dirty Angels isn't one of them. It is a terrible movie.

Nothing is working in this film.

Script is bad, dialogues are bad, actors are bad (especialy Eva Green who keeps the same angry face all the time), there is no chemistry between members of the team so we don't care about them.

So of course, the action is uninteresting and badly shot, and the CGI, oh the CGI... Come on, we are in 2024, any student with a PC is able to do this kind of stuff now.

Boring and vain movie.

Don't waste your time on this lemon.

Dirty Angels (2024) is an action thriller movie directed by Martin Campbell and I found it to be very mediocre.

Positives for Dirty Angels (2024): The directing in this movie by Martin Campbell is pretty okay for the most part. Eva Green does a decent enough job with her performance in the movie. That are some okay action sequences. And finally, the movie's pacing is okay enough and it doesn't overstay its welcome.

Negatives for Dirty Angels (2024): The movie feels like a generic action thriller movie that could've been directed by anyone, not Martin Campbell. The story feels like things are being made up as it goes along. I didn't care about any of the characters with the exception to Eva Green. And finally, things are just happening for the hell of it.

Overall, Dirty Angels (2024) is a standard generic action thriller movie that you would find in the bargain bin of any store and nothing else.

"Dirty Angels" (2024) is a film that fails to deliver on nearly every level. Monotone pacing drains the energy fron the narrative narrative, leaving scenes lifeless and dull. The acting is uninspired, with performances that lack depth or believability, making it difficult to connect with any of the characters.

Worse yet, the script is riddled with clichés and underdeveloped ideas, providing little substance to sustain interest. The dialogue feels contrived, and the plot seems hastily stitched together, leading to a final product that feels more like an afterthought than a genuine creative effort.

Mention to the CGI that is on the very next step after the "amateur level"...

It's hard to understand why this movie was made, as it neither entertains nor innovates. Unfortunately, Dirty Angels offers little more than frustration for those who invest their time watching it. Mostly a waste of time.
