A score of 3.8 is overly generous. It was clearly given by family members and those who funded this film.
The main character is a deadly, top-echelon special forces agent who has absolutely no tactical skills. If she had even a smidgen, the story would have been over in twenty minutes, including the opening and ending credits.
They called this an action-thriller and a comedy. Comedy is what you tack on when your action film's egregious plot errors can't be fixed in post.
The elements of the production were not terrible. The main actors show some skills, but they were given a mediocre script, pointless editing, and dreadful plot.
My imagining of the plot development team: "The killers are looking for her and she is wounded, right? They see her staggering off on the property. So, later, she taunts them over the intercom letting them know she is still somewhere on the property, and, get this, it shows she is not a victim anymore. " "Good! I like where this is going. A strong female lead." "She is bleeding from a huge leg wound, right? Let's have her take a long bath in her underwear. That's hot, right?" "Bingo! I think I hear Oscar buzz."
By the end of the film, we wanted every character to die. I have had far more enjoyable root canals.
I can write a better film script in an hour with more plot twists, fewer tactical holes, with far greater character development.
