For a premise as solid as this I really expected a much more fleshed out movie. The momentum of action is not sustainable throughout. Sure its a tad bit better than many other popcorn movies _(6 Underground)_ but it does not even come close to _Extraction_ which was also released earlier this year by Netflix.

The entire thing seems like a set-up for future movies. I don't know if I wanna watch sequels to a movie which is so pre-occupied with sequels that it fails to deliver on the movie at hand.

Charlize Theron is obviously great. She gives everything to this run of the mill expository script.

This is not a bad action flick per se but is sure as hell disappointing. Also, playing generic pop electronica at odd places throughout the movie does not help the cause.

@cinebong you pretty much summed up my thoughts on this. I really liked the characters, but I wish we’d have gotten to know them better. Should have been like a 10 episode season instead of a movie. The plot premise was really interesting but I just wanted more from it than they could give in movie format time limit

Entertaining movie with an interesting story. The movie had more depths in the characters than I expected, which was nice. The acting was good and the fighting performances were exciting. Overall it was great to see Charlize Theron kick ass again and I guess we'll see more of it in the sequel which clearly is already in the works.

A TV pilot with a script that's outright ridiculous when it's not too busy being predictable.

Please someone arrest Charlize Theron's blackmailers so they can stop forcing her to make garbage runs and trash dives.

@saint-pauly 1st let me say Subjectively if this is a ~~trash dive~~ for her I would hate to see you infamous list of trash and gems, you ever seen an actor or actress who has done a terrible film not to say they part was bad but the film was a dumpster fire ? 2nd This could be a TV series and you would love it... I can tell so stop lying to yourself, you love Charlize Theron

This movie will seem familiar to everyone because it’s a conglomerate of hundreds of shitty movies… Is it that hard to come up with some original ideas

Really enjoyed this. Had no doubt Charlize would be amazing but the rest of the cast brought it too.
I love a good disenchanted immortal storyline!

Only let down for me was Dudley Dursley who had terrible screen presence and provided an utterly forgettable antagonist.
I might have to check out the graphic novel now!

I liked it. Has a decent storyline that could get fleshed out more if there's a sequel. The action was quite good, in which Charlize incurred several injuries. Due to the lack of any kind of movies in the theater and only a handful of new movies hitting streaming sites, this makes for an excellent summer popcorn action flick.

I expected so much more, it's getting hyped on Netflix and I do not know why.
"The protector" first season was better than this, heck, even "warrior nun" might be. Ok maybe not Warrior nun.

The concept is chewed up. Many shows and movies with a same plot.
Sorry, it wasn't all that good.

@cthulhu75 i thought it was explained with the needle bit. it can't grow back if there's something blocking it from doing so. ie a needle, or an earring

@kmlkmljkl The problem with that theory is, as soon as the earring is removed, the earlobe should close up immediately. But obviously the real (out-of-universe) reason is probably that no one thought about it. Either that, or the superhealing ability is "smart" and knows the difference between an intentional "injury" (if a piercing can be considered an injury) and something that requires healing. :person_shrugging::male_sign:

**Play dead, motherf___er.** Contradicting many people's thoughts, I loved this. I loved how the stories unfolded, the way you learn about these characters as we go on. The music may have been a distraction during certain scenes, but honestly, I didn't mind it. I got so invested that I just couldn't take my eyes off what I'm seeing. The action is top-notch, the actors and actresses played their parts amazingly well. Quynh showing up at the end opened up so many possibilities ahead. If there is going to be a sequel in the future, you can bet I'll be watching.
