Scarlett

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.

Giving credit where it's due, the snow covered Wasatch range makes for a beautiful backdrop. The rest? Well for starters the star appears ten to fifteen years older than her character. There is clearly a significant effort by all the participants in this production to "act." But the entire cast really tries way too hard.

Clearly, there is a lack of technical support which hurts the cast in its endeavor to portray actual agents and spies. The actual pretend action scenes are straight out of B-grade 1980's low budget flicks. The soundtrack is something out of 1990's video games, and the plot? Wait! That would spoil it!

The storyline is reasonable and for the most part the script works. Fight scenes are decent. It is a bit too predictable, but it is an entertaining action novie.

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.
