It was because she asked questions of her kills. That's a no no in the assassin biz.
It was okay. Jessica redeemed a lot with her acting. The drama was engaging, albeit predictable. The choreo was one move, one cut - some Jessica but hairstyle concealed a multitude of stunt women. We can't all be Charlize. I did enjoy the botched kill in the red dress and subsequent escape. The final showdowns between master and student, and between proteges, left too many openings for high level assassins. Killers of that caliber wouldn't be so sloppy, you'd think. I hardly recognized Joan Chen, but I knew she looked familiar. That whole underground casino was a dumb side arc.
It was another story of an alcoholic chess player (in the opening intro montage, Ava is listed as being a chess player in her high school yearbook).
And it's open for a sequel.
Greg did make one glaring oversight in his review. He missed the sword fight. It was in that intro montage. Sure, it was fencing in masks so it might not have been Jessica - it was probably another stunt woman. But... knickers.
Only recommended for DOOM yetis, and it's just for all the knickers.
On it.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
