A positive surprise

You know with Amazon's and Netflix's track record of being involved in nothing but the absolute bottom of the barrel tier 1-4/10 movies you kind of go into this movie expecting the same result, but this turned out to be a pretty easy and fun watch. Kind of like a female version of 'Crank' for lack of a better comparison. Sure there is some of the stuff you will have probably come to expect from an Amazon or Netflix movie, but like I said for the most part it was a decent movie and had some fun and laughs at parts and I'd give it a 7/10.

You liked it way more than I did. I nearly turned it off after the first 5 minutes. It's criminally predictable, the main character is VERY unlikeable (the first 5 minutes showing her being a violent lunatic beating up innocent children and the narrator defending it), and then she meets Jai Courtney who is so obviously evil. I saw that twist coming from the moment he appeared, which completely makes the motivation/journey of Beckinsale's character worthless.
It's shot well though. The cinematography is the best thing about it, but the plot, action and characters are just not worth it.

I really didn't like this; from the acting to the poor fight choreography to the cheap production. The premise was actually interesting but as @cswood said, entirely predictable. It was obvious Jai Courtney's character was alive AND evil. Granted there were some funny lines but overall the dialogue was horrible. Likewise with the special effects...surely they could've done better, its like they had no money left post production (the bomb blowing up in the bag at the end being a good example).
The one other thing that bugged me was where this was meant to set. KB had her normal English accent, the cops were obviously American, Jai Courtney had a some hybrid aussie/American accent, the bad guys were English and the area where she lived appeared to be in New York (again, highlighting the poor production it seemed to consist of only 2 obviously fake streets). Yet there's a scene of them walking along the Thames in London!
