Directed by StevenSoderbergh in his realistic mode, the film was well-received by critics but critically panned by general cinema-goers. It's a spare, fast-moving action movie with no extra fat, realistic explosions and gunplay, and brutally convincing fight scenes, Carano excelling at her own stunts, but has also been criticized for a barely-coherent plot, failure to wrap up several loose ends and some unnecessarily long, silent shots of doorways and such.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The original cut of the film was more brutal and had most of the fight scenes be of the CurbStompBattle kind. Reshoots (done a year and a half after the original shoot) made those scenes more even-handed. Also, Gina Carano's voice was dubbed in the final cut.
