This movie is a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.
It has the potential to maintain a great with story line much action and gore… some of the fight scenes should be more realistic. Apparently their organization assassinates high profile targets but to what avail? What order are they meant to maintain? Whatever that is, it’s can’t be any good significantly b/c of the Shadows that went rouge. I know action film isn’t realistic but it’s meant to seem as such… The amount of force the protagonist 13 encounters in combat W/O REST or devoted back up makes it way too unrealistic, she’s not a Marvel character. Example, the donut scene with multiple automatics blasting directly at her was a bit much. Some sort of bullet resistant car from the organization or better yet a bike stunt, allows some level of mobility that seems more realistic.
For the protagonist to be such a skilled fighter yet still in training is what makes her unique b/c her rage comes from a purpose. I think that why that crack head lady that kept coming back.
13, the protagonist weak spot is sparing women and protecting children. The surfacing flashes of her mother’s traumatic assignation. This is what makes her ruthless she not numb she’s fight with purpose the catch 22 is that purpose make her a liability b/c her humanity gets in the way of the organization attempts to numb her for weaponization. 13s humanity led her on a killing spree for Moji which ultimately kicked off the Pandora box of her past.
13s betrayal of realizing her instructor killed her mother and trained 13 to become one of the assassins. Is ironic b/c 13s instructor’s humanity left her conflicted and her inability to shut if off is why she trained 13 so closely. Sparing the rouge assassin and killing her boss instead of 13. Goes to show she never felt right about how the organization operates.
Somehow the Master of 13s instructor saved her from the first attack of kill order initiated by the organization…why isn’t he affiliated anymore? Did the mark on the rouge Shadow indicate her Master was behind the rouge group of shadow?…13 is a killing machine they are going to wish they never created and I believe her instructors Master has went off the grid to dismantle the organization.
They just have to clean it up a little bit and this is a solid 5.
