By the way, Soderberg has entered a state where he wants to shoot everything but doesn't know what he is shooting. Although the movie is still quite interesting, it may be a good thing to hear that he is already planning to retire.

This film is to show the charm of the heroine, which is different from the performance tension or sexy charm emphasized by the ordinary female killer movies. The heroine Gina Carano is a real fighter, so the focus is on more realistic fighting scenes and physical performance. , And the coolness of the actors themselves. I can't say that she has any great acting skills, but obviously in this film tailored for him by Soderberg, she has her charm. I think this is also the intention of the director to make this film, experimenting with more realistic character elements in the genre.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Gina Carano’s performance is maintained within a certain range of emotions without much ups and downs. The plot is also unsurprising in a simple genre formula. Of course, the narrative structure has some timing reverse and retrospective designs, the most complex is almost the same. That's it. The good thing is that it is plain and does not sprinkle dog blood, and it is plain and boring if it is not good. Of course, if the focus is on the heroine's fighting skills and posture, the issue of the plot is not too important. That big ticket looks like a luxurious lineup of guest stars. There are almost no scenes in this film. It is all about setting off the heroine. It is a luxury and waste.

Fighting and action scenes are actually not as exciting and exciting as the 007 series or 007 series, but it can be said that they have different charms. The director has put some effort on the camera, editing and music to give the movie more elegant and exotic sentiment. . There are also many types of experiments, but sometimes they feel a little overkill. For example, the last beach fight seems to make people feel that the director doesn't know what to shoot.
