Not quite what you hope for...

Rating: 6/10 (24 August 2014)

Coming from Luc Besson I expected some fast paced action with a good story line. And though the movie had this potential, the story contained far too many holes to be credible. The topic is difficult, but nonetheless it could have been far better. The acting is pretty good and Scarlett Johansson (so very nice to look at!) shows she can really act as she not only puts down two very different characters in one movie, but also holds her own against Morgan Freeman. Unfortunately that doesn't save the story. The chapter division is nicely thought of and is a plus.
Concerning the action, there's plenty, but somehow it does not satisfy the viewer. It feels "limited" considering the almost "limitless" power of the heroin.
The end will leave you with a feeling of "what?". It is somewhat predictable, but also "weird".
conclusion: It is an entertaining movie, but nothing more than that.
