Amazing. Excellent. Satisfying. In this world of gross injustice we need more vigilantes to correct things.

Here is a film where the female hero is a BELIEVABLE combatant. Her antagonists are wife n child beaters, including female child beaters. The theme of this movie might be, Don't get sad, get even! This is not one of those pretty, sexy, comic book female James Bonds. This movie is real, and really gritty. (4.89)

The only survivable aspect of the movie is the topic, that is original. Acting is ok, but characters are cry or shout, do the result trashes the skills. Narration is nothing special: couple of flashbacks in what is otherwise a pretty simple story. Filming is a painful disgrace: lot of long, still, shots everywhere all the time, including black screens!

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The lead actresses is NOT a good hit man. This is a ridiculous and boring movie. I tried to get all the way through, but could not! Although she is pretty, that does not make a good movie or a good violent person being played in a movie, she is just too petite and maybe just not a good actress at all. I do NOT recommend this movie, no way no how!

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

The film doesn't work without this character's pain, and Wilde absolutely sells it, a spectacular performance.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

[A] patient, nuanced film-making that showcases, in Wilde, a muscular and increasingly versatile screen talent.

Rated: 4/5

Cath Clarke

Guardian

It's a tough, tense movie with a couple of bone-snappingly violent moments, but critically it dials down the exploitation.

Rated: 3/5

The Wolfman Cometh

A powerful debut feature with a commanding performance from Olivia Wilde that will hopefully see them both lean more into genre films in future projects.

Rated: 3/5

Wilde is fine, but the film never scores its punches as it keeps packing more and more on...
