La giusta vendetta

Right, well the cover for this 2021 thriller from writer and director Eamon O'Rourke is what lured me into watching it. Had I heard about "Asking for It" prior to watching it? No. So I wasn't sure what I was in for here, but the cover was interesting and thus I opted to watch it.

And you can't judge a movie by its cover. While "Asking for It" is labeled as a thriller, this was more of a female-empowered revenge movie. Not much of a thriller, and this is where writer and director Eamon O'Rourke lost me along the way. I was expecting a rather different type of movie, and was instead served a cold dish of movie that didn't fall into my flavor.

The storyline in "Asking for It" was a swing and a miss in terms of providing me with any sense of entertainment or enjoyment. It was a mixture and combination of slow narrative and lack of anything interesting that killed off the movie for me, so it never really had a snowballs chance in Hell. And this is certainly not a movie that I would recommend anyone run out and waste their money, time or effort on.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Asking for It", and that is usually something I like when I watch movies. But since the cast virtually had nothing worthwhile or interesting to work with here in terms of script, characters, dialogue or action, then the movie was just a dud. I am sure that the acting performances were fair enough, I just didn't have an interest in it.

Sadly, then the movie's cover was the most exciting and interesting thing about this entire ordeal.

My rating of the 2021 movie "Asking for It" lands on a two out of ten stars.

This movie popped up on my Instagram feed and I wanted to check it out. Kiersey Clemons, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexandra Shipp, Ezra Miller. This was a stellar cast in my book, so for that I wanted to see what it was about.

It was good intent, good actors, and I loved the messaged. I'm a believer of vengeance and this movie is perfect for that. Not really a good idea to do what these ladies did but it may help if you watch them do it (Very Batman)

Its delivery does not click like I should. All the actors give a good performance but it's not coming together. It gets to a point where I start to lose interest.

But I still liked it.

This movie was nothing special. It felt extremely low budget but with some charm. The actors abilities to act felt forced so it made it hard for me to like this one. I guess it was ok for a one time watch but I really didn't enjoy it. As a women I have no point of views in this movie. I just came to be entertained and that didn't happen. So I will not recommend this movie and I myself will not be watching it again. I still think the chick from Tragedy Girls and Hudgens are sexy af though.

As a contributor to female education around the world & other human rights issues I found this vigilante movie to be dishonest. Very stereotypical generalizations that are seriously misleading if not plain wrong. We have mostly Black female vigilantes fighting back at white males who are shown as female subjugators, rapists, female genocide perpetrators, and police (all white) as rights' abusers. Black males were shown as female rights' protectors. White male quote while firing his gun at target: "Every species on the planet does it. The male exerts dominance over the female." White males form a MFM (Men's First Movement) organization to "fight" for control. Cheaply made production dominated by numerous & pointless scene disrupting photo flashing montages.

Tried to be something like promising young woman...but it just didn't land. Waaaaay too aggressive with the message they were trying to portray. Great acting in moments though!!
