MOVIE REVIEW ~ KATE
Scrolling through my phone media yesterday, I noticed I had one move I am yet to watch. I can't tell why I did not watch this particular movie when I was watching the movie but I was kinda free yesterday and decided to take a look at the movie. So I did what I usually do whenever I am not sure of a movie or if it is interesting, I started fast-forwarding the movie but after a glimpse of the action in it, and the suspense too. I decided to settle down and watch the movie. It's a Netflix movie and was released on 10 September 2021.
The stars are Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Miku Martineau, and Woody Harrelson, directed by Cedric Nicolas Troyan. I think I am just familiar with Actor Mary Elizabeth Winstead and her acting skills.

She aimed at the victim who came for a meeting but resisted to shot the culprit because a child who happened to be his daughter unexpectedly accompany him to the meeting but eventually shoots the target at Varrick's order.

Varrick was aware of her rules in the game but he couldn't lose the target because of her personal rules or emotional trauma so he accepted to let her go after one final mission.
During her final mission, she came in contact with a stranger named Stephen who she met at the hotel bar with whom she drank and spent the night. She leaves for her last mission but couldn't shoot the target because of the effect of the drugs put in her drink which she wasn't aware of.

I liked the movie, the fights and the deaths. I like films with warrior girls. I thought the Japanese setting was great.
