Watched this movie after reading "The Mother" was the most watched movie on Netflix in 2023.
Firstly, I'd like to say the misogyny in these reviews is pathetic. I read one which stated something like, "Nikita redone for the 100th time"!? I'm surprised to read that, because there are thousands of action movies out there, with the same basic formula, led by the same cliche male action hero, but god forbid a woman playing with guns!
I will agree with some of the reviews, the formula of this movie was nothing new and basic. But the execution of the movie was decent. Jennifer Lopez is 54 years old and she did a great job, playing a retired army veteran! She also did a good job chasing, killing bad guys and loading up her gun well!!
The fight scenes were not John Wick level. Perhaps some people were expecting some fancy art house fight scenes. But it's pretty standard. But tbh, this didn't disappoint me. The movie is more about her trying to protect, DEFEND and keep her daughter safe. Not to go on a bloody rampage.
In summary, this is an enjoyable movie to watch. It is easy to follow, not heavy, not gruesome, has good acting and it's fun to watch Jennifer at 54 years kicking ass. She should continue doing these kinds of movies, as she did a good job. I highly recommend.
Don't watch this, if you're a 50 year old man or a jurassic boomer, still horny for a "First Blood" type movie.
One of the comments I saw mentioned in some of the reviews, more than once was, "look at her make up, it's so unrealistic she'd never wear make up in the snowy woods!". WTF. It's movie, get real! I wish I saw more scrutiny of male action heroes and how unrealistic most of their scenes are in reality.
