The casting for this is not particularly noteworthy, with the exception of the main protagonist, and some of the camera work and writing is a bit underdeveloped. Some of the effects leave a bit to be desired as well, but I don't think that takes away from the enjoyment of this movie.
This thing is still on point and the directing is more than adequate for what this wants to convey. It's sort of like Taken and Rambo in a weird mix, and I think that works well enough to be worth the investment of your time.

Huh. The female John Rambo. Tough, but unfortunately also very shallow. It lacks pizzazz, and the potential hasn’t been realised, unfortunately.
