The Rhythm Section

The last time I watched Blake Lively in a movie she was fighting off Sharks is The Shallows .

In this she looks very different as she plays a young woman who turns to drugs and prostitution after her parents and siblings are killed when their plane is destroyed by a terrorist bomb. Seeking revenge, she tracks down a former MI6 agent who helps her train for her mission and set out in her quest of vengeance.

The reviews and ratings are bad for this film .

It's probably because of the cliched beginning with the drugs and prostitution but I actually enjoyed this film .

Blake Lively is good and who doesn't like Jude Law . The whole story has the feel of a TV episode of something like Spooks but it's was definitely entertaining none the less.

You could pick holes it the plot all day long but why bother ?

It's meant as a bit of fun and it's worked for me.

The last third does fizzle out when when Sterling K Brown is on screen but that's more down to the writing than his acting .

100 minutes of good action .
