Worthless Piece of Junk

[Hitchcoc · 2/10 · 13 June 2019]

It's awful what happened to her. So she destroys them. So what? Is the world better now? A good story needs some suspense of some kind, to draw interest from the observer. She is pretty much a machine and since she is already dead, where's the interest? Not to mention pure gratuitous violence. And that awful narrator. Ugh!

Strong Female Breakout and Shot Very Well

Moa Malan (great name) is excellent in this action driven short. She apparently with no martial arts background trained for months to pull off the hard hitting scenes. The film appears to be somewhat of a showcase of filmmaking and stunt work, almost a primer for a future larger scale project. The story is an old revenge trope with a dystopian and fantasy backdrop. What it lacks in originality it makes up for it in visual style.
