Simple, straightforward action thriller


It doesn't try to do too much which i think works to the film's benefit.

A few things i appreciated
1. No over the top action girl antics seen in many films and television shows. The action sequences are marginally more grounded in reality than the usual fair.

2. No forced lesbianism crowbarred into the script surprisingly

Problems
1. Villains were fairly incompetent & dumb. Too much standing around looking threatening & slapping/wrestling people instead of just shooting them

Overall not a bad movie but nothing to write home about either. Noomi Rapace is a solid actress but doesn't have a lot of range beyond emotionally cold and distant which she often does quite well.

Agree about the villains. At one point armed man gets bested by securely handcuffed woman!
