Just missed the mark

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2014)

Went to see this yesterday, my wife and i were really looking forward to this as the previews looked pretty interesting. Caught the early (11:20 AM) show and when I we walked out my wife said "at least it was short" and I said "At least the tickets were cheap".
The film might have benefited from being a little longer to flesh out the flow of events better - it just seems to escalate too quickly without any sense of awe or discovery.
I won't give away anything that isn't already in the trailers, but after the drugs invade her body, a normal person might think to themselves that there's something different about me, and experience some sense of anxiety or fear as to what happened to them. Not in this case, it's like "ok, now I can do this and this and this and this and I'm a super badass assassin too". We're just supposed to accept this along with the escalalation of power that follows. It could have been given more time to develop.
I gave it a six because it wasn't horrible, I'm just sorry I didn't wait for the DVD release.
