Shadowboxer Reviews
Quite a bizarre plot with plenty of action. Violence being passed to the next generation is at least honest.
Saw it don't take the rating, see it and judge for yourself. Real good movie that very few people see
Great movie! Absolutely loved it. Critics are wrong giving it law rating as they are probably too political.
Helen Mirren is always worth watching, and this was no exception. Here, at the end of her life as a hit person (to be PC) she decides it is time to stop taking life and have the joy of watching a new life grow. The plot here is very far fetched, but I found it an enjoyable watch.
Thriller, soft porn, or what? Wanted to like it but felt the story was lacking a lot of substance. Had potential bit sort fails.

Gross "love making" scenes between hot younger man and wrinkly old lady. Gah! Plus the story leaves much to be desired.
Woof, this film is bad! It's so jammed full of rapes, beat-downs , mother-son incest & absurd plot twists that we never get to feel any empathy for its characters.
Mirren is definitely is head and shoulders above a movie this simple; playing a remorseless assassin (something she did in the infinitely better R.E.D.). It's that simplicity that is it's undoing. The movie has 1 thread, based on redemption, that is dragged out to movie length without exploring what could have been a tense and dynamic story. The side characters don't really seem to do anything and have scenes that lead nowhere and are seemingly there to fill time. Unremarkable in every respect.
