Available on HBO Now this month, I was lured in by boredom. Saw that Luc Bresson had written and directed! Thought, "Hey! He is revisiting his own legacy. This might be good." No. It is a hacky remake with nothing original and is missing a lot of his signature elements and style. The missing pieces are the best pieces. Just one silly hack moment- her first assassination. Some big dude, not even sure why he was targeted. She kills at least 2-3 obvious body guards. Then! About 26 more body guards come out of woodwork and we have a never ending series of gory and brutal killings. Who travels with 30 body guards for lunch in a restaurant?!? Vladimir Putin? The choreographed action is just non-sensical and becomes video game silly. Then I knew I wasn't watching a real movie; just a recording of killings.
The time jumps were not bad. That is the only interesting element to story. May be why Luc B. thought this would fly.
(and, yes. This era of skinny super models brutalizing military trained men will be very funny 15 years from now! ha,ha!!)
Don't be tricked like me. Avoid this movie.
