Solid revenge/assassination thriller, story has some very emotional moments, well acted even, which still somehow fail to engage the audience. The action sequences are mostly very good contemporary quality, except for too many blur cuts in a certain "boss fight". Pity this falls flat in some parts; main character(s) would've enough substance for a few sequels if developed further. No regrets having watched it, I was entertained, but wouldn't re-watch.
QUALITY ACTING FROM ZOE SALADANA. THE SCRIPT IS A WEAK , STORY GREAT GREAT FEMALE REVENGE FILM. KIND OF REMINDS ME OF "THE PROFESSIONAL".
