It's an action thriller so I wasn't exactly expecting it to re-invent the wheel. I just wanted a decent popcorn flick with interesting characters and some action on the side. I was actually pleasantly surprised. While not reinventing the genre, the movie definitely reinvigorates it. The characters development and the dynamic between the two women is very well written and the acting is exceptional for a movie of the genre. Just when I thought I couldn't be surprised by the depth of Janney's acting, she knocks another one out of the park in a role I never would have expected her in. Oh and for the ones who are having such a hard time "suspending disbelief" when they see "a senior citizen" kick two young guys into next week, ask yourself why you had no such issue while watching Keanu Reeves, a mere 3 years "younger" take a whole room full of armed younger guys in John Wick...

Another unrealistic movie trying to promote a woman action hero. At least. Marvel lets you know its fiction. Just too unrealistic . The lead character it more efficient that a Navy Seal and has more fights and situations than . I just couldn't finish watching this . Even my wife found to be be a step backwards for women action heroes. It starts out like a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western them moves to a Rambo type action hero and then the plot gets dumber and dumber . I can't explain how it ends but it got to the point it was so unrealistic that I had to give up after an hour. I guess it s ok for some people but this is a wasted evening of entertainment.

This is the kind of movie you want on a lazy weekend. Nothing too scary or sad or shocking. Couple of good twists. Solid acting and plot. Really cool scenery and camera work. A couple of goofs (Battery operated light in the kids room is way ahead of the 80's timeline. I thought Jax went home? Where'd the bombproof vest come from?). Allison Janney is great. Actually all the actors are good to great. Even the side characters of the local sheriff and deputy are good. Overall a solid movie and worth it. I'm glad I didn't pay to watch it on a theater. I don't regret the time watching it at home on Netflix.

Allison Janey is a comedic actress, not to be involved in a serious thriller. Jurnee Smollett is being shoved in our face cause of BLM and she is not a good actress by any means. This was a sloppy movie out together by a WOKE agenda that continues to shove crap down our throats. The premise is recycled and Netflix keeps regurgitating the same boring genre over and over. Stick with the true crime and run away from this disaster of a flick. If you disagree, look at the Rotten Tomatoes score! This would be a Friday night VHS or straight to movie on a network when you wanna have something in the background.

The spoiler is great but the film is more Netflix drivel. Predictable, dull, poor dialogue, bad acting, not exciting, engaging nor entertaining. Don't bother carrying on with watching it in the hope that it gets better. It doesn't. An old CIA agents who wants to die? Why? Allowed her son to be kidnapped? I think? So he is mad and mad at mum? Failed marriage, one kid, left them but wants to kill granny, his ex and the kid. Everything is predictable. The kidnap, the tracking, the rope bridge, the lighthouse bomb, every fight. Mum and son die die, killed by the CIA, cos it's a cover-up! Really? Who would've guessed? Everyone is happy after the 2 funerals, obviously but, wait, who owns that hat? It's Lou. It ticks the boxes ie mixed race child, female lead, female actor of colour, older actor who can fight etc. But sitting on the Loo is more entertaining.

Ok so this isn't an adrenaline soaked, hyper unrealistic massive hollywood blockbuster movie. It's simple, believable and very effective. Well written, well paced and had just enough of everything you want from this kind of movie. Lou is also a brilliant character and very well portrayed, as is the villain for that matter. It wraps up a nice progressing story arch considering theirs only a handful of them! I must say the production crew did amazingly, if the rain was real they had a hard job and if it wasn't it damn well looked it! It's easy and fun to watch...so stop reading about it and go watch it!

Firstly this isn't gonna win any awards for originality. Twists are very predictable but fine. I'm sure some people are gonna nag about this and that. Some people fail to realize that it's just a movie, it's entertainment. Decent storyline, good acting, cinematography was great. I wasn't bored throughout at all. Jurnee Smolett was good as usual(loved her in 'Lovecraft Country'). The little girl was adorable. Everything was explained even if you saw it coming. The key most people lose is that you're not a professional movie critic so stop acting like one. If you don't like something, turn it off and move on and don't voice your other issues into your entertainment and you'll be fine, I promise.

Great story, great acting . The action scenes/ fight are fantastic . The film is very good not understanding why anyone would vote this down below 6 ? I gave it a 8 because it's such great performance by Allison Jenney. I found it just a tad , predictable , but over all an entertaining bout of film. Don't worry about the lower scores just remember to watch this movie for the pleasure to watch Allison kick some serious arse . This is pretty darn good and deserves attention . Many will call it woke but it seems organic . Enjoy the movie it's worth a watch . Turn of your tv watch this movie now .

This movie could have been very good because the cast and acting are solid, with excellent cinematography. The story is so ridiculous, however, that no one could ever believe it and dramas don't work well with stupid scripts. Allison Janney, who plays a former CIA agent, is always worth watching and so are the other actors even though their dialogue is fairly limited. Jurney Smollett also does fine given the poor script she has to work with. It is impossible to describe how absurd the story is without including too many spoilers, so I suggest seeing this if you are an Allison Janney fan with about an hour and forty-five minutes with nothing else to do.
