The machine gun revenge girl

Required a little suspension of disbelief. I would've liked them delving a little more into how she trained, assuming she wasn't halfway badass to start out with. She rocked it though.

Remember Kill Bill Vol 1?They didn't show the bride's training until Vol 2.They may do that in a follow up movie.

SEXISM!!!!
stick your misoginy up your ass

Agree with the sticking up the ass thing. I liked this movie a lot as I like all movies with a woman kicking ass. Wish there was a Mrs Ray Donovan (not the one that died) but someone like Ray 😻

I mean, she was a kick-ass secret agent in "Alias" for years, an army chick in "The Kingdom" and friggin' Elektra: Assassin in two films.

She's played action roles plenty of times before.

This ^^

I really liked Elektra, even with the annoying kid in it.

Her character was well trained and certainly motivated. I thought she pulled it off good. It's just a movie.

I don't assume action guys like Bruce Willis, Keanu Reeves, or Denzel Weshington are even 1% the bad asses they play in movies
