This looked good from the trailer but the film itself let me down. The script is poor and way too derivative and the over the top comedy is way out of place given the violence elsewhere. The story is too obviously copied from JOHN WICK and the substitution of the library for the hotel doesn't really work or feel legitimate. Some solid acting talent is present here but Karen Gillan has bitten off more than she can chew as the lead and her doubling is too obvious and too often. Some good fight choreography is lost between the over editing and over cutting. Overall, I expected more but didn't get it from this film.

This is the first review I've written and after seeing so many one to four star reviews I had to put my two cents in. This is by no means the greatest movie you'll ever see but it's highly entertaining, action packed, good cinematography, and a good soundtrack that meshed well with the movie. Also I feel the story and script are again not the greatest but also nowhere near as bad as some of the other reviews make it out to be. Of course take a watch for yourself but this movie deserves much better than the "5.9" it's sitting at currently.

The people giving it very low ratings are clearly male chauvinist that are offended by the fact it's a predominantly strong female cast. I personally don't care which way a movie goes as long as it's done properly. The directing was well done and the movie had a noir feel to it. Acting was also very solid from the cast and the action was mostly believable. This was not John wick quality action but the budget also wouldn't be close to the same. I would have rated this a 7 but I had to do 8 to make up for the haters. If you like action with a descent little story watch the movie, you'll enjoy it.

Despite the cast, I went into this with fairly low expectations based on the trailer. I was pleasantly surprised in many ways. The acting was good. The plot was simple but unpretentious. The John Wick comparisons are unavoidable and it falls short of Wick in terms of intensity and choreography but it isn't trying to be the same. It's like a lighter, more self aware Wick with hope in place of despair. The violence is highly stylized which isn't something I'm always a fan of but they make it work well. I definitely recommend this movie, especially if you're a fan of any of the amazing cast members.
