This action movie seems to have gone backwards in terms of the story. Too much senseless killing through the night scapes of Japan. The violence is quite gross at times. It lacks the humor of Besson. Just a little human connection in the middle when she bonds with the kid.
Mary E Winstead's character lacked background and so the viewer cannot empathize with her. She also didn't have the glam transformation that can be funny, she was just grungy and glum looking the whole time. Too serious. Maybe it's the Japanese type story. She killed everyone then suddenly her humanity felt fake. Shallow. Luc Besson movies and Korean movies have better stories when it comes to this kind of action movie because they have central characters you feel for and some back story. Woody's character felt shallow too. Mary tried hard but her action sequences felt too unbelievable even for this type of show.
Don't bother with this unpleasant violent movie. There have been much better ones in the genre.
