Ultimately, this film pirouettes elegantly on the surface but stumbles where the narrative heart should beat strongest. It’s a cinematic recital that, while skillfully orchestrated, fails to hit the truly resonant notes expected from a story of vengeance and identity.

She was awesome, and it was very much in the vein of the John Wick saga formula of a light story to set the tone and then finishes with non-stop brutal action. I kept thinking, these movies must be exhausting to film for both the actor and stunt people. If you like John Wick, you will most likely like this one.
