White Misogyny
Summary: Caucasian lust for violence.
Banal look at the fact Whites act their lives rather than living them and that it is very difficult to escape from the moral trap so created.
The absurd and consequenceless violence that pervades most of this movie remake of the much better La Femme Nikita is nothing more than a White attempt to appear to be agents in full command of their own lives; while the drama suggests their being locked into a political machine where savagery is the only currency.
This movie just does not understand its own source material (about the ways White males stereotype & objectify White females) and offers nothing else in its place to make it watchable.
