These days movies have developed to the point of atrocious, they really are not worth reviewing. Seems I'm only coming here to write bad reviews but these movie maker who just want to score a few hundred million at the box office are bad actors looking for a payday.
They say movie making is an art form, the art of ripping the public off. But here we have an action flick not unlike many others. A seemly 30 something suburban housewife and family get mowed down by a gang of drug dealers. The fast forward plot I'm sure gave the audiences whiplash. For this movie plot to have any credibility you'd need to Title the movie Wonder Women 3. Instead they go with a slender model like female where her most aggressive pass was fighting with her morning makeup. She transforms without the help of some superpower into this cyborg killing machine that disposes every gang banger no matter if she's outnumbered 50 to 1. I mean how many bullets can one carry. Learned all about weapons explosives, tactics and evasion techniques emerging from her supposed 5 year sabbatical in Europe. Something I might add is the total inept, incompetent police department inability to locate and capture a women who's pictures is on billboards. I mean my local parking ticket attendant would have done a better job. With no attempt on Garner's part to conceal her appearance other than a hoodie.
They should have spoken to Stan Lee (RIP) the action comic book writer. He could have at least provided her with some believable super powers. Because without them it's an absurd story. Even the cheesiest action flicks from the eighties with all the same bad acting were a cut above. I suggest that Jennifer Garner stick to moves more suited to 100 lbs female leads in Romantic Comedies or Family Drama's or even Sci-Fi. But if she is set on being a kick ass action hero. Maybe she could reinvent Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I gave it a 2 star since for the reindeer bit part, it didn't have a choice to be in this movie and did a better job of acting.
