Split Lip

I really enjoyed this film! This is for sure a must see! Given with the way it ended, I wonder if there'll be a part 2?!

Mesmerizing lead actress and plot holes you can drive trucks through

Set is an assassin whose made a mistake and hence becomes hunted with an array of killers on her trail. For 98% of the film guns are replaced with hand to hand combat to the death, well choreographed and totally engrossing. She meets Samuel a totally clueless nerd whose dialogue hurt my ears. He is 'helpful' once but otherwise has no place in this film.

Plot holes galore and for no reason at all. Example: At the outset of the film her boss, as a favor, suggests her best flight destination and, as she leaves, reminds her we are coming after you. Really, after he's told where to go? Plot holes get larger and more irritating as the film plays out. The finale, with an excellent action scene, is otherwise a mess. Almost none of it makes sense. Many rave about the 'original' ending and they are right but that is still part of a mess including erroneous dialogue.

All in all Set was Mesmerizing with her bloody, scarred face, from various battles, that showed throughout the film. She was an assassin ever ready bunny self described 'monster.'

Lets start with the main character she's the next Angelina Jolie with her moves as she captures the audience with her rawness from scene one .The movie has shots of adrenaline and just a splash of comedy throughout making it gritty at moments however there are some scenes that are drawn out . Overall, this movie shows the strength, power and yet the humbleness of an assassin that's rarely portrayed in movies.

Many times we think that a huge budget is required to make a worthy film, especially in the action genre. Split Lip proves this belief wrong. Lead Actress Doree gives a grounded, mysterious, intriguing performance. The action and plot is builds up so well right to the satisfying end, which I won't spoil ;)

When I started watching this movie I was heavily engaged at first. Premise seemed very similiar to like a John Wick 3 and the visuals were absolutely stunning. The acting I thought was also good especially for a bunch of no name actors. Hence the reason for the four stars at least.

But the major issue with this movie comes down to bad/little dialogue, weird action scenes, and massive plot holes. It also was just extremely draggy in my opinion. I don't know if all this was due to lack of budget or poor direction by the director. But its shame because I really was rooting for this movie.
