Badass and Boring

Rating: 4/10 (24 July 2017)

The plot's basic idea is a good one -- basically "Groundhog Day" for the martial set. The special effects are good as well -- top-notch, as was most of the acting. But it played as extremely boring for me, and some of the tropes just ticked me off, especially The Badass Chick meme. The Badass Chick is tough, man. She's the least female creature around, able to kick any and all butt, never emotionally expressing anything other than, "Check me out; I'm A Badass Chick! I'm cynical and tough! Been hurt, but won't talk about it; instead, I'll just kick yer ass and defy gravity!" I loathe characters who are supposed to be human, but have no human characteristics. And I guess I'm not into movies filled what that sort of thing. If watching someone playing a shoot-'em-up video game is your thing, you might dig this flick. Not my cuppa.
