While filled with a whole lot of exceptions to the rule, this documentary nearly put me to sleep. Not even the greatest living actress, and greatest actor ever, Lupita could save this film. But she did the best she could and that needs to be celebrated. Effort is as good as merit now.

Every year several documentaries are released, most of which are better than Warrior Women. The scenery, people, and culture was entertaining and interesting the way a tourist attraction would be, and the makers understand this. It is near exploitation but whatever makes a buck I guess.

Skip it, I'm doing you a favor.

I couldn't hear the narration over the music at all. I watched for 10 minutes hoping the music would get lower, it didn't, jumped to an hour and it was still going on. Headache inducing constant ambient music track louder than the voices makes this unwatchable.

Lots of action, good fight scenes despite slow "wait to be hit" choreography. Car chases and gun fights were very entertaining if you know what to expect. The major problem I had were the poor casting decisions, Evans and Gosling would have been much better suited to swapping their roles as protagonist and antagonist. Other gripes were the two typical Hollywood cardboard female roles who could do no wrong as usual, and both had constant borderline feminist lines written for them. Hey audience, if the movie works without a character entirely, like if they were just cut from all scenes and you wouldn't notice, then you can take a guess why they are there.
