In addition to the derivative story elements, my biggest issue is the drug. It is still interesting to have a different look from South Africa where even the windows look slightly different. It's a step above but it does grind the movie down. The locations are grim, dirty, and reminiscent of those 90's city hell-scape movies filmed in Canada. It has the obligatory hot chick in a neon colored wig. This South African action thriller is derivative of many hot girl turned assassin flicks. She takes a drug for PTSD which causes memory lost. Her parents were murdered and her father was Karl's police partner. Jackson) is one of those few and he's helping the young female vigilante. The city is in chaos and underserved by the limited remaining embattled police force.

She is killing off his criminal associates one at a time. Sawa (India Eisley) is hunting down the Emir who runs a child trafficking ring.

It is not a masterpiece, but certainly one of the (re)new wave of film making, where actors and directors are starting experimenting again and expressing artistic vision. Bottom line: the imperfections of the film, the way it is always slightly off recipe, made it worth watching. The twist at the end was pretty obvious, I practically waited for it since the beginning of the film, and the boy's character was full with inconsistencies, yet these were not enough to make me regret watching. No fancy wire-fu, no huge explosions, no rain of bullets. The action scenes felt very real, and even if the girl had fighting skills, most of the time it was just about surviving or running away and she got her ass handed to her more than once. Slightly more appropriate for the times than an post apocalyptic world or one caused by shortages of oil. The world is somewhat similar to the first Mad Max movie, only not a desert, but what is left after 'the banks fell and the governments collapsed'. She is not a perfect killing machine, instead she is always close to death and only luck and sometimes a mysterious boy are keeping her alive in several occasions. She is an addict for a drug that erases the memory, so she doesn't even remember the parents in the name of which she exacts revenge. India Eisley is incredibly cute, but she is playing this kid killer who wants to avenge her parents. I am still amazed that it is a US/Mexico production. It felt the same way: international cast, a very young female killer and the dreary violence that is usually met in European films. The first feeling I got when I started watching the movie is that it must be a Luc Besson film. Without seeing it, though, I can hardly compare it with the film, so my review is for the movie as a standalone. The story is based on a Japanese manga/anime that I intend to see momentarily.
