I guess not enough people are fans of Michelle Rodriguez?

Sorry, I thought it was terrible. There wasn't one redeeming feature in this awful film...

Are you a fan of Michelle or Sigourney?
I like Sigourney's role and her acting. The rest was kind of flat. I'm unsure of what the director was trying to do. Some parts felt like a comic while others felt like a video game.

Not particularly a fan of either, nor anything against them, but where I'd usually rate Sigourney i thought she was sleep walking through this to be honest. I only really watched it because Walter Hill usually turns in a good action thriller...

It was better than I thought it would be.

I had really low expectations beforehand so...lol. I liked Dr. Kay. I felt sorry for her. Frank Kitchen was not intimidating whatsoever.

Utterly ridiculous action noir from a once brilliant director; there could’ve been a bit more effort put into selling the daft premise; as it is, it seems content to just slap, bang & wallop! Most of Weaver’s dialogue is hyperbole!! Rodriguez's attach-on beard is terrible.

Not the only attachment that was terrible...

i haven't seen it but think it should have received more attention with it's premise!
Accidentally transgendered hitman goes on revenge spree to track down rogue surgeon! Haha... sounds like fun!
Did they make it too self-serious and noir?

They did. His sex change wasn't accidental though.

@Renovatio It really wasn't fun... With a premise like that, it could've been, it should've been... But it was just awful.

oh... i thought i was accidental, or malicious... did he just always feel like a hitwoman trapped in a hitman's body?

I haven't seen the film that's under discussion. I did enjoy Rodriguez in Girlfight and Machete though.
