La sentinella

Just poor ! Good actress but a non sense movie, it's look like the new normal from streaming company to just produce very cheap and poor films

Just like 99% of people who are going to watch this, I was also drawn in by Olga. I knew the movie was spoken in French before watching, but had no idea Olga was so fluent. I thought I'd be able to practice my language skills a bit. Usually, with movies like this. A non native speaks a little slower, has simple dialogues & the subtitles linger that fraction longer. This wasn't really the case for me. I didn't realize Olga holds dual citizenship (French/Ukrainian ) before watching. So, because I'm rustier than I thought. I found myself reading more than just some words. I almost had to read everything which took too much of the cinematography away. Such beautiful scenery I couldn't enjoy without pausing... *thank god for streaming, lol*

The movie itself was nothing special. Just your basic "how far would you go for family?" or "you've messed with the wrong bloodline (Taken)" type of thing. It's probably a 4-4.5. But Olga rounds it up to a solid 5. She has talent, that's a given. Just a shame the lead role in something other than the mainstream English speaking movies. Won't give her the coverage she deserves.

Kurylenko's intense performance is solid as a French soldier coping w/PTSD. Using it as a driver for revenge.

Story have very little exposition to slow it down.

Fight choreography is concise and adequate for the amount of violent encounters in a 80min runtime.

Witnessing the 'sentinelle' sacrifice nearly everything is reason enough to see this movie.

I thought I was gonna see someone like Atomic Blonde, at least a Salt, or even Ava and/or Sam Carlson, Proud Mary; heck, not even a Hit Girl. Decent enough for one viewing, but that's all//

But that is all.After 10 ' you realize how predictable and boring will be the end.
