This film appeared to be about a super agent trained to kill and kill only from the trailers. But it's not, it's about a teenage girl's journey through adolescence and to make that period of her life even harder, she is a genetically manipulated super agent trained to kill by her dad who isn't her dad.
She kills her target (who is actually not her target but a double agent) but she doesn't know that, and then travels from Morroco to Berlin to reunite with her dad. Along the way she makes friends, endagers a bunch of people and is followed by a creepy wrestling tennis gear clad blond man. She even has her first kiss. Kind of.
This film was so not what I expected in so many ways. Well, in all ways. Sound, Direction, Plot, Theme. The sound work was wicked. And the direction was very different, sometimes a bit extravagant... Saoirse Ronan's face rotating in the middle of the screen as she ran was ok at first but it was definitely too long a shot. However, I bet it looked amazing in the cinema (even though it was too long a shot).
The rotating clip is part of this scene. It's a good example of the sound work and the direction. This is probably the edgiest scene actually. That's with the rotating bit though.
Though the plot was a little bit thin, I think everything else made up for it. It's definitely worth a watch.
A MUST WATCH if you ask me!
