Hulu, you had me at "Megan Fox plays a battle-hardened mercenary". Not since Tara Reid was cast as a nuclear physicist in "Alone In the Dark" was such a paradoxical role been given to an attractive, petite woman. This movie is CONFUSED. So what is this movie's point? Bringing light to the problems of: Sex trafficking? Lion farming? Children soldiers? Islamic extremism? Undermining women in combat? Questioning women in command? Backstreet Boys' biggest hit? [spoiler]This film gets preachy about all of these things. In the middle of a firefight, with civilians hiding in sheds, a murderess lioness prowling around, surrounded by radicals, without any ammunition, Fox's character gives a former child soldier the time to take revenge on the man who killed his family -- slowly, graphically, and with lots of time for exposition.[/spoiler] Is the movie Anaconda? Predator? Lake Placid? Deep Blue Sea? Who cares. Megan Fox needs to find a movie like Basic Instinct to resurrect her career. A femme fatale using sex as a weapon? I buy her doing that hands down. Battle-hardened mercenary? Not so much. She doesn't pull it off, but luckily she doesn't drag it down either.
