Where's Sigourney When You Need Her?

Rating: 3/10 (1 January 2017)

Yes, this is another one of those movies where skinny armed girls fire high caliber weapons without suffering any kickback. The opening scene sets the silliness. Emily Blunt is a member of an assault team taking down a drug lords house. Blunt looks like Snoopy in his flight helmet, her tiny head overwhelmed by the armor. After the action, we slide fast into the "knitted brow" school of acting pioneered by knocked knee, flat footed superstar Leo DiCaprio; the knitting of the brow compensating for the lack of physical grace needed for a believable action star (Mitchum, McQueen, The Duke, Eastwood). Blunt can knit a brow along with the best but it just can't save this PC casting silliness.
