The plot was almost non-existent. There was next to no actual dialog. Its like a 6th grader had a film assignment, took their phone and shot a "movie". The acting was somewhat decent but with random cutaways, absolutely zero sense of setting, the audience is left questioning what the heck just happened (to their evening). Unfortunately the 92% on Rotten Tomatoes is either politically charged or Olivia Wilde has thousands of burner accounts.....what a waste.

I dozed off and had to rewind several times. I dozed off again just recalling it. Set up as an action movie or vigilante movie, but so much did not make sense. The climax to the finale scenes were just plain absurd. The lead actress was good, but totally wasted. It had this tiresome sexist feminist overtone that women are better and stronger than men, which made the ending and certain scenes even more ridiculous.

Rotten Tomatos gave this a 92%?!! Just read the other low reviews and they say practically verbatim what I was thinking while watching this flop. I swear to you, I had the same thought at one point that a middle school student wrote this. Olivia Wilde should fire her agent. This is basically an obscenely long PSA for battered women. Nothing against that, or when J-Lo did this movie ten years ago, or when whoever did it before that. But maybe writer/ director whatever her name is could put in the effort instead of totally phoning it in. Also the editor should resign. And the line producer. ETC.
