Gina Carano, a top person and amazing MMA fighter. Too bad she was unable to translate this onto the big screen. Love her personality but not her films. Her acting has improved but its not good enough.
At times Gina carries the look as though shes ready for an MMA fight.
Storyline of the movie is simple and boring. Wife gets married, husband goes missing. Wife goes after the men that have taken her husband. Sounds like a rip off of Taken.
The good? Of course Gina's fighting does give the film some light. Her MMA moves are always good to watch. Even though it is highly unrealistic to do a BJJ takedown in a nightclub.
I think Gina should hold off on leading roles and take supporting roles instead to give her experience before taking on a leading role.

Gina Carano is a lovely person and I quite like her as a person and as an fighter. But unfortunately I don't like her acting nor this film. Simply storyline, nothing special helped by a popular cast of people (Fassbender Mcgregor, Douglas etc).
The acting in this film especially by Gina who plays the lead character in this film is quite ordinary. Lack of emotion during various scenes.
Yeah the fight scenes are quite raw but so are the countless fighting films in Asia. See SPL, Flashpoint, Special ID all incorporating MMA into their films and they work much better. The fighting is nothing special when compared to many of these Asian films.
If I had to point something out its that when we have someone new to the acting scene they shouldn't be cast as a lead character in their first film. They should be cast as supporting characters to give them confidence, more experience and then progress to leading role hopefully.
A disappointing film overall but if you're anxious to see Gina Carano and what she looks like then by all means but you're in for a pretty bland movie.

The movie isn't that bad. Its just a film with a cheesy storyline that evolves around some thugs who beat & rape women and in comes the gang of ladies led by the eldest sister (played by Fujimi Nadeki) will do everything they can to stop this. Even if it involves breaking the law from causing chaos to the criminals. The cops in the film aren't doing anything enough with the violence towards women and even turn a blind eye on some cases which is why the female gang exists.
Some of the fighting is quite good especially from Fujimi Nadeki who looks nice in this. The camera in some parts is really bad and it just puts Fujimi Nadeki down as being a second rate B grade actor. After all she hasn't made any box office smash hits in HK like Moon Lee, Cynthia Khan or Michelle Yeoh.
