Most of this movie is just barely OK. A few things are not OK, and a few are better than OK.
The worst problem is the pacing. An action movie needs more action and suspense, less buildup. The story is not so good either, but, most action movies don't have stories that are very good.
The best aspect is the leading lady. She's in great shape and looks very much the part. In the fight scene, she's much more believable than most actresses including Jennifer Garner, whom she somewhat resembles (similar height, hair styles, both in great shape), though Butler is not as cute as Garner can be. Unfortunately, they kind of ran out of ideas, and the end of the ultimate fight ruins it.
In general movie looks pretty good, but the acting is sub-par. Malcolm McDowell has a nice small supporting role, but, it's nowhere near as good or interesting or fun (although rather similar) as his great cameo in "In Good Company".
Essentially, it's watchable, but, just barely. There are other better action movies with a kick-ass leading lady that looks good doing it (rather than silly like Charlize Theron or Brie Larson).
