Double Threat

This was such a childish production, was it made for a twelve year old audience? I gave it one hour and then just couldn't take it anymore. The story was so cliched and predictable, and then add that there were more cringe moments than anything close to a worthy comical laugh. It was lazily written, mushy, corny and simply a waste of time. Nothing really happens except for the same cat and mouse game, with a split personality being the so-called tough act, then the forgettable whiney drama queen, and that got boring real fast. Within the first 5 minutes, Danielle C. Ryan's character gets annoying and it just keeps getting worse, and you'll start noticing this entire film is laughable, then it becomes cringe with all the monotony. For that matter, every character and performance was cheesy and annoying. I can't understand how anyone would have the patience to sit through this entire sloth. Even at a mere 92 min runtime, a lot of nothing happens. At 30 mins in, it felt like I've been watching paint dry for at least one hour. Don't waste your time on this, anything is a better watch and more entertaining. It's a very generous 3/10 from me, all going to some decent directing and cinematography - that's it.

From the opening frame the movie has the feel of quality and the whole movie is beautifully designed and beautifully shot. I think the subtle twists on the familiar boy meets girl-assassin routine are quite fun and.the action moves along fairly even paced. I am afraid I did not find any plot holes, and overall I laughed a lot.

Suspend belief, enjoy the good dialogue, ignore the bad. The fight scenes were pretty decently done, reminiscent of Natasha Romanoff I thought. But the sex scene - really? In these days of freely available porn which is so much better (I'm told) these sorts of semi-modest scenes are a bit cringeworthy.

Jimmy (Matthew Lawrence) is taken with convenience store clerk Natasha (Danielle C. Ryan). Suddenly, she's super-fighting a kill squad. She had stolen from a criminal mob and they are coming after her.

Ryan is not as funny as she thinks she is. She does have some charms. She is better than this movie. She is a hot chick who can kick. I did not recognize Matthew Lawrence although it's not like he's my favorite or anything. He is supposed to be an accountant. This would work better if he's dressed as a nerd. The writing is rather clunky despite being a simple premise. The split identity could have been interesting, but the acting is limited. This is a B-action flick with various limitations.

She has the look, the moves, the personality. She did an awesome job in the role and made the film enjoyable.

Overall the movie was a fun romp of bad guys giving the chase, but it did showcase a talented young woman.
