Lately, action/thriller movies are full of these strong women who are totally unreal. When this trend started, it was new, thus interesting and, when pushed to extreme, this can be interesting any time (e.g. Kill Bill). But, in general, it's getting old.
Here's a movie that gives a believable strong woman. Only once, towards the end, when the authors ran out of ideas, does she show unbelievable strength in a fight with a big guy. Also, she doesn't go towards the cliché of femme-fatale, using her looks to get what she wants.
I don't really care if the main character is a man or a woman, but, in current state of affairs, this is refreshing.
Other than that, the film is OK. Alice Eve shows she can act and not just look pretty, and the main villain (more of an anti-hero) does his job adequately. Others are not as good, but, not really bad.
The story and it plots and twists are a little too much, but OK. It's actually fine until the last part, where, as mentioned above, authors run out of ideas. The last part spoils it a little, but, it's still OK.
There is a sense that it could have been at least a little better
