Negative Positive
Title: better than I expected
Review: Kim Basinger has portrayed some of the most diverse roles of any actress over the last couple of decades in movies ranging from "My Stepmother is an Alien" to "9 1/2 Weeks" to "L.A. Confidential" (for which she won an Oscar). This film let's her stretch her legs (literally this time, as she has to perform quite a few action sequences herself) yet again. While she gives her usual solid performance, this isn't the best movie she's ever done. The "gang" she comes up against is really more of a group of young punks than a real gang, which explains their ineptitude when they to try to kill her for witnessing an accidental shooting they were involved in. I actually enjoyed most of this film. The only part I thought ended up being very predictable was the last few seconds of the film, when she was back at home with her husband. Overall, a good, but not great effort.
Is the review positive or negative?
