This afternoon, we watched this action thriller on Netflix.
"The film follows a skilled Special Forces officer who takes ownership of her father's bar shortly after he dies, and soon finds herself at odds with the violent gang running rampant in her hometown."
The movie is Indonesian Mouly Surya's first directed English language film and unfortunately it shows.
Jessica Alba is the main star and she is alright in this low budget and slow action flick. but the lighting and story progress is very poor as is the supporting cast members as they hired quite a few men with beards and wearing flannel shirts that due to the poor lighting, you could not tell who is who.
The action scenes were good and Alba is a very good scrappy knife wielding heroine with a grudge against the weapon smugglers who killed her dad.
Anthony Michael Hall stars as a corrupt and evil senator in running who is behind all of this mess as are his two sons, one being the local Sheriff and the ex-boyfriend of Alba's character.
Her only two allies are a weed user and a covert ops hacker for the CIA.
This is a poor action film and it's a shame as under a better direction and writers, it could have been a lot better.
I shall rate this film a score of 5/10.
