User Reviews

Just another overcorrection movie.

One time watch at best. Production quality is good. Fight scenes are BAD, you have people waiting to be hit like they use to do in 80's & 90's movies. This is magnified when they use slowmo, you have a fighter standing there with their arms down just waiting to be hit.

This feels like a feminism overcorrection movie with a side of racial overcorrection. This seems to be all the rage at the moment in hollywood, people feeling guilted into choosing these loosely entertaining ideas and hiring people based purely on the colour of their skin, gender or sexual orientation rather than the merits of their hard work or suitability for the job.

I feel as though the budget and talent in this film could have been used in a better way to make a movie that wouldn't collect such review as "Don't even bother watching".

Bad stuff aside, movies as entertainment, it was reasonably entertaining but the lack of original thought left me thinking it could have been more.
