A new film in cinemas with some of the best action sequences we've seen in a long time
is no different, with an uninspiring narrative that goes nowhere exciting, but it manages to beat down any misgivings about its plot with electrically charged characters brought to life by the best women in action and spectacularly imaginative action choreography that's more art than anything else.
Besides the generic blandness of the story - outside of the assassin mother and delightfully lethal aunts - it's also not the best written either. The logical flaws abound, from rushed origin stories that make little sense, no twists to speak of, and the real villains never really get their due.
It's a bit hard to tell, though, if the success of the characters is due to a good director or rather through the actors' sheer force of talent because it really is a dream cast. Karen Gillan yet again cements herself as an action star in the role of a slightly psychotic Sam with mommy issues, bringing the performance as well as the kicks.
