I don't think there's a role Janney can't do, but she sure stepped up from her character as Bonnie on Mom. I never thought I'd say this, but she needs more action roles, she nailed this one. Sadly, her performance wasn't able to carry the rest of the film from being good to becoming great. The first half was a great start and setup to continue into the second half, but sadly, the second half turned into a dull, convoluted and cliched nonsense. It's like of the two writers, one did great to start, the other poorly to end. It's too bad a seasoned filmmaker wasn't consulted - wonder how it even slipped through producer J. J. Abrams. Had the second half been as great as the first, I would've given this a 9/10, but sadly, it's only 7/10 from me.
