This girl enjoyed it immensely

Rating: 9/10 (27 March 2011)

I saw that it has not been well received by critics so I felt the need to post a counter point briefly. I enjoyed it. A lot. And I mean, it was an action film so no, it is not going to have Oscar buzz around it (maybe for editing or sound but i digress). But, I'm tired of action films who rely entirely on the visuals and could give a rat's rear end about substance. The acting was solid, the dialog felt real, and the story was better than I think many give it credit for. Oh, and the amazing use of graphics, action direction, and music! I will not go into anymore details than that, but I will leave u with one more thought: even though this film is still geared toward the typical demographic that most action films are made for, it was nice to see a largely female cast show that you can be smoking hot and still kick ever loving ass for a change, not the persistent damsel in distress who only serves as eye candy (or for the memory of whom the main character goes out on a bloody rampage to avenge because she was brutally killed without so much as a single speaking part). Sorry, I did say briefly, so I'll wrap it up. I'm glad I went to see it in the theater, and there are COUNTLESS movies for which I cannot and will not ever say the same.
