The movie had all the materials to be pretty good. It has one of the usual cheesy plots, where the parent is kidnapped, and the child goes to find them, ect... However, the execution is terrible.
Scarlett acts dumb throughout the entire movie, yet they talk about her as if she's some super talented genius-fighter, though she's beat up in almost every fight.
The relationship between her and her father is introduced by her being angry at her father for teaching her how to fight and preventing herself from being Sexually Assaulted because it makes her a 'freak'.
She claims she's mad because her father never tells her why he trained her to be such a good fighter and only tells her, "It's so you can protect yourself." but then reveals that he told her that he's a GOVERNMENT AGENT in a classified position as if that isn't a valid reason for him wanting her to know how to protect herself.
Any actual good reasons they give for her being mad are brushed off as things she's only slightly angry about, yet she's furious over mundane things.
Before he goes missing her father tells her, "Don't trust anyone." and she proceeds to trust the extremely suspicious guy she just met and take him to their SAFE HOUSE.
Even when she finally finds her father, she gets herself captured as well and her father saves her numerous times, even in his injured state.
The fight scenes with her father are pretty good but the fight scenes with just her, SUCK.
