    Based on a real person, Jacquie Davis. Does NOT deserve 5.5 for sure.

    The character is based on a real person Jacquie Davis, the most skillful female bodyguard who has actually saved children, has been shot, stabbed and more (look her up). Finally a good action movie, with no stupid unrealistic car chasing's and unrelatable cold and empty heroes. Noomi Rapace gave an outstanding performance (as always) that definitely lifts the movie a lot. We have seen this type of story before (young rich girl being rescued from kidnappers by her bodyguard etc) but that wasn't a problem for me. I liked the fact that the protagonist isn't the stereotypical hollywood bad-ass woman with no feelings and the strength of a gorilla, she is not necessary stronger than the bad guys, but quicker, more skillful and smarter. Easy watching film, that has smart action that doesn't let you get bored, but not too much action to get tired of it.

    Just better than OK

    Good acting by Noomi and Sophie, doing their best with a script that could have been a lot better. Movie overall had a strong start that faded to a weak finish. On balance, worth seeing because of the two leads.

    Solid film

    Deserves a much better rating. One of the better action movies on Netflix - give it a chance.

    Rapace is Fierce

    I like Noomi Rapace and have seen and enjoyed most of her movies, at least the ones after the "Girl With..." series. I find her compelling. Although not traditionally beautiful, she has presence with a kind of rough grace that presents as extremely attractive and she is also one of the few women who can pull off high-action movies. If I see she is in something, I watch it, and have yet to be disappointed. Without her in the lead, I probably wouldn't have watched this,

    When I saw Sophie Nélisse I couldn't figure out where I had seen her before until I realized she was Liesal and Gilly Hopkins.

    The acting was okay; Nelisse an Rapace were effective in their roles. The setting and scenery were fine. The action was well done with only a few weapon mistakes. Overall, I enjoyed the film - it won't win awards but it's better than most action/buddy movies.

    Very watchable, if only for Noomi, who is always good.

    Enjoyable

    Good for a casual watch. Suspicious that each ok review has a corresponding poor one. As if someone is trying to talk the movie down (or up). It's certainly not as bad as the 1/10 and 2/10 scores suggest.

      Near the beginning of the film, when Sam is reviewing Zoe's file on the plane, Zoe's birthday is shown as 03-08-99. Later, Zoe's birthday is shown to be 03-08-02 (the code to the computer), a difference of 3 years.
