Scarlett

A little predictable. Lags a little with all the reminiscing.

Disappointed with the casting of Scarlett. This actress is too old to be a college student.

Potential to be great but never getting there.

The protagonist of the movie while skilled in self-defence and firearms is also extremely dumb tactically. The character made too many mistakes for someone who's supposed to have been prepared and trained all her life to keep safe and stay alive. Maybe the father should have put in the hours to do some intellectual training, to go with her physical training.

She kept making obvious mistakes, after mistakes, after mistakes as the movie went on. This made it soooo frustrating to watch. In the end, I started hating the character.

Her dad on the other hand is one cool S. O. B.

SUMMARY: The movie was a tad predictable, and bringing nothing new to the genre, but had moments of goodness (not brilliance).

VERDICT: Its watchable (albeit frustratingly so) on a dull boring day.

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!

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.

Movie could have been better if good cast was used, story line is not, picture is good. Lady is too old for college gal.
