Fantastic!

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Its not a bad movie. There are some funny moments and some emotional moments and some romantic ones, all well done. But at the same time, one cannot fight off the feeling that the movie would have done better if it were a bit shorter. A little more than one hour into the movie, it already felt like it was stretching the story. Making it a bit concise could have worked in its favor. It felt like it was trying to fit every Hollywood cliché about this genre of movies into a single movie, which would have been OK if they had made it slightly more compact in terms of running time.I liked the leads, but it is the two actresses in the supporting roles of Eeva and Iiris' big sister that really kill it in their respective roles.The male actors are little more than props in the story, which is fine by me. This is a story around female characters and Hollywood has marred many such movies by casting prominent actors in lead roles, which actually take away from a female-centric story.Good for a one time watch.

Watched this out of curiosity as it was not the sort of thing I would generally go for. It has a pretty decent script and covers some serious matters while having a couple of hilarious, unexpected moments. On balance a pretty solid but lightweight film, with good all round acting performances and directing. I enjoyed it and it was a bit of an antidote to the clichéd Hollywood film sausage factory. The women in the film had enough depth for me to empathize and for them to seem real. The men were almost props to the action, if you'll excuse the Freudian slip. I'm not much good at waffling on, I need the ten lines for the review. Get it out and watch it with a female friend.
