If you like Luc Besson's "Nikita", you will maybe found this movie at least noteworthy, if not - perhaps you will enjoy it anyway because it's just another look at the same story of the young girl played by Bridget Fonda who became an offender and was sentenced then (the story is almost the same except an ending, it differs from "Nikita"). She killed the police officer during the armed robbery in which she took a part. Then she was enlisted by government to execute some covert and dangerous missions which involve dynamic and brutal action and style. |
