    • Trivia
      Stephen King praised the movie on Twitter as "Terrific action/suspense... how cool to see a tough older woman kick some serious a$$".
    • Goofs
      For an agent trained in field craft and with years or experience, Lou continually\y walks around, in the rain, with rifle(s) on her shoulder with the muzzle pointing up (without a muzzle-cover). This allows water to get into the barrel - severely degrading accuracy AND possible catastrophic damage to the weapon/shooter.

      Lou: World's not a playground. Teach your kid to look out for herself.

    Lou is what every grandma should be!
    Kicking butt! Lou looks like a frail old lonely lady, but... you'll see what she can do.

    She's a landlady that appears like every other old landlady: mean and morose. You can tell she's been battered by life as she speaks little and barely smiles. Until she finds herself in a situation where her skills and purpose are needed.

    It's great to see this lady revelling in her purpose. She's still a mean old lady but her intentions are good. Sure she's made mistakes and is trying to come to terms with them, but as old as she is, she's already accepted the outcomes of life for what it is. It is what it is.
