If you enjoy watching chicks kick ass, this movie nails it. Karen Gillan plays an assassin who gets into trouble with the crime org that pays her. Into the fray comes her mom (Lena Headey) and several other women (Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh and Carla Gugino). This movie is over the top in many ways, including the particulars of this underworld. The action is plentiful with lots of hard knock hand-to-hand and gun battles. Fortunately, director Navot Papushado manages to create original ways to dispense brutality, often with a comic book approach that renders it less violent and more cool. The final showdown is especially fun.
