A Vigilante (2018)

Boring and Unbelievable, but Olivia Wilde acts her rear off

[4/10 · 16 August 2019]

Not a unique premise, but one that could certainly make for an entertaining action flick. Unfortunately, they show very little action, and we're left to believe that a little girl who does some work on a heavy bag can take down pretty much anyone she wants, with no weapons other than her bare hands. Certainly, Ms. Wilde was exhausted after every scene from the level of emotion she had to display throughout the film, so perhaps adding in some physical action would have been too much, but unfortunately, simply showing her emote for the length of the film makes for a pretty boring viewing experience. Seems like they were basically trying to copy parts of 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' without any of the action. Not a great idea.
