Papushado’s flamboyance feels cocky and indiscriminate, as if he’s simply trying really hard to make every image seem cool.
Full reviewKaren Gillan (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), Michelle Yeoh, Carla Gugino and Angela Bassett lead this hitwomen action thriller from the director of Big Bad Wolves, following a secret sisterhood's attempt to survive one action-packed night.
Assassin Sam (Gillan), learns no good deed goes unpunished when she spares the life of a young girl and becomes the target of armed killers herself. Outnumbered, Sam turns to a handful of fellow female assassins - including her long-missing mother (Headey) - who team up to turn the tables on their attackers.

Full reviewThe whole thing is just fun, sugary as a milkshake, with no brain freeze to worry about.
Full reviewIt’s a bloody feast for the eyes... you just might have to leap over the plot holes and massive tonal shifts while wielding customized mini-bayonets to enjoy the good stuff.
Full reviewIt brings style, infectious energy from its protagonists, and several memorable action sequences that deliver enough amusing fun while it lasts.
