The usual "Hero saves/protects the innocent." which is typical of the genre and that's ok. What I didn't like are the unrealistic fighting scenes, hero and foes and the excess of unneeded special effects.

The heroin is allegedly a retired special forces operator who doesn't know how to handle firearms, has no situational awareness and loves to pick the most complicated and dangerous way to neutralize the enemy while displaying superpowers like ubiquity, super-strenght, an anti-pain/shock absorbing body. Her foes? Same thing just more stupid and without superpowers.

Could have been a great move.

Or a Polish badass girl, who, as the recent Netflix THE MOTHER, proceeds in the NIKITA rip-offs list. Or if you prefer JOHN WICK in skirts who would meet DIRTY HARRY. OK, watching this once in a while, I agree, but too much is too much. I was determined to watch this one, because it is Polish, and I was curious to see how Polish film industry could make such a film, and second, to review a movie without seeing it is totally idiotic, non sense isn't it? So, I saw it and that confirms what I was a bit scared about in the first place.... The villains are here totally f...up and only this could justify to watch this action flick only for what it is. An agreeable time waster but rapidly forgettable.

The big difference between the two is that this one wasn't a big Hollywood production with 3 well known prolific writers, yet this film was still more enjoyable. Sure it had some plot and technical issues, but considering it's a low budget international B film with fairly new filmmakers and an unknown cast, this one shined compared to The Mother. It had a Pulp Fiction theme, feel and overboard colorful characters, and although the lead actress Agnieszka Grochowska as Nina didn't really fit her character, this Polish actress still managed to pull it off and be more convincing than J-Lo in the action scenes. And I will also say, the action scenes were pretty impressive and well-styled and choreographed for a non-Hollywood production. Had some of the nonsense that attempted to be funny (that wasn't, more like cringe) been omitted, and the colorful overboard characters toned down a bit, I would've easily given this an extra star. Nevertheless as an international B action thriller, flaws and all, it was still more fun and entertaining than the J-Lo version. So it's a decent one-time watch, and a good way to redeem your entertainment experience after being disappointed as much as I was after watching The Mother. This mom film was awesome in comparison.

No pun intended - and yes she is more likely to kick you instead of shooting you (that other movie/title I stole the pun for). Which also makes it quite ... well she should not be able to kick so many people no matter her training and her abilities ... but if you buy that Steven Seagal or anyone else for that matter can do it .. why not her? Exactly - just suspend your disbelief and go with the flow.

After J-Lo earlier this year, we get another mother who people should not have messed with ... well of course it is imperative that they do ... so we get a movie of course. That all being said, the fight choreography is quite well done. There is not much of a story, but you are not here for that ... hopefully. You are here to watch the mayhem ensue ... and that it does ... with blood and violence and all what is needed to make this ... well the movie it wants to be when it grows up ...

A movie isn't worthy with just few spectacular action sequences or a gutsy performance by its lead character's but literally it has to go plot test to get effective on whole... Agnieszka carries the whole movie on her shoulders that way ahead of its flaws and turns to be a sole survivor.... But yes the camera work are the most effective aspect that keeps it's momentum flow along with the movie while action blocks are the soul of the movie... While the villainous act are cringy and just acts as pop up character.... On whole it's not too emotional as the title suggest but just a pure adrenaline action blocks that keeps u hold until the last act... Overall skip it or see it on ur own risk...
