If you're going to watch Sweet Girl, expect the unexpected. Your jaw might drop in utter confusion, and pure shock as a decently crafted actioner gets completely ruined by one single twist.

| Original Score: D | Mar 6, 2024

I have to say while [Sweet Girl] had its faults I actually enjoyed it. It’s nothing stellar by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a decent popcorn flick.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 16, 2023

Mendoza kept me locked into his story, confused and frustrated at times, but entertained throughout.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2022

Toggling between a subversion of the ‘70s man-against-the-system conspiracy thriller and a grief-propelled payback actioner, Sweet Girl is yet another B-movie-ish action distraction boxed in by the Netflix algorithm.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 8, 2022

Jason Momoa's bitterly bad actioner has no redeeming features.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 2, 2022

Its a little clumsy at times, but with some tight direction, gritty action scenes, and a strong main cast, Sweet Girl is worth checking out.

| Feb 11, 2022

It reduces what could have been a competent action programmer to a bit of a joke.

| Nov 12, 2021

There's plenty of physical action here from Jason Momoa and young costar Isabela Merced, but their thinly-developed characters and an even slighter plot line undermine this film's reach.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2021

It's fundamentally a beat-em-up flick with little weight. In that, though, it's decently successful.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 17, 2021

A dour slog through rote conspiratorial territory without a distinguishing factor to be found beyond the capable lead.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 5, 2021

Sadly, and in a film that's 110 minutes long, it quickly outstays its welcome. There's a reason that Aquaman is such a perfect fit for Momoa's brand of muscled softy heroism, and none of that gets to shine through in Sweet Girl.

Awkward dialogue and narration, but nice cinematography.

An entertaining popcorn film. [Full review in Spanish]

It takes itself super seriously, but it's so clumsy and absurd that it completely botches the easy layup plot...

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 27, 2021

Momoa and Merced, as well as Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as the hitman on their trail, do an admirable job of trying to carry it, but the overly complex and ridiculous plot, driven by inane dialogue, gets the film tossed in the dud bin.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 27, 2021

It's Friday, which means that it's time for Netflix to release another generic action thriller into the wild.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2021

With a tighter running time and less of a lurch into nonsense, Sweet Girl could have been a great film about a father and daughter on the run with a real point to make.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2021

Notably, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo plays an assassin who shares some of the film's best scenes with the stars, adding a wrinkle to an otherwise very straightforward tale.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 27, 2021

For all its plot machinations, Sweet Girl is an utterly conventional revenge story. Instead of the usual shootouts, there are several knifings. It's not clear that that's an improvement.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 26, 2021

Aquaman's Jason Momoa makes another attempt at action star status with this thoroughly worthless thriller.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 26, 2021
