She was more believable than Red Sparrow, Proud Mary, Salt, Columbia, and Atomic Blond

I'm not really a Jennifer Gardner fan, but her character seemed realistic. It's unbelievable to see these long fight scenes in these movies with skinny, underweight girls kicking the ass of grown, and sometimes trained men.

At least in this movie, she used her skills as a fighter to catch these guys off guard for a second, and then shoot 'em. Very believable.

Ruthless. A female version of The Punisher. I'd like to see a 2nd one.

I don't mind a certain level of unbelievability with action films--was it ever believable that Arnold would dodge a thousand bullets and go on to kill a hundred guys?--but you're probably right that her character in this film is a little more realistic. After all, as the old saying goes, "God made man. Sam Colt made them equal." Weapons really are the great equalizer, especially firearms.

Regarding seeing a sequel, I think it's possible depending on how well it does on home video. It's box office take wasn't too bad, considering its budget.

I do consider myself a Jennifer Garner fan and I fully concur with everything you've said here.
